Hi

I am installing osComerce for the first time and now getting these errors:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /data/members/paid/r/a/race-experience.net/htdocs/www/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

 

?Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.

 

Can somebody tell me what to do?

 

Thanks

Warning: The sessions directory does not exist: /tmp. Sessions will not work until this directory is created.

 

as it says no temp directory this is where the sessions info is stored you do not need to worry about this warning but if you are this can be enabled or disabled from the admin panel

 

the chmod 644 is the read write execute status of the configure.php this needs to be set for both catalog\includes\configure.php and admin\includes\configure.php

 

644 is

individual(user)- read write

group- read

everyone(other)- read

Create a tmp directory in your document root, or set the following in your admin and catalog includes/configure.php files:

 

  define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql');

 

Use your FTP program or webserver control panel to set permissions on your configure.php files - set permissions to 644.
