this is the error I get:

 

- You don't have permission to access /catalog/:///index.php on this server.

 

I have full permissions under windows and i dont know why I am getting this message.

 

How do I fix this?

 

Thank you.

[jrwrestling]

what are the permissions set to on each file on the site? What are the CHMODed to?

[marseng]

I have installed oscommerce on a Windows XP box and that is the message that I am getting. I right click on the item and it tells me that it is read only.

 

How do I change the permission in Windows XP. I have never had this problem before, seeing how I have full priveledges to the system.

 

So i cant see why I am getting this error.

 

Thanx again.

[marseng]

when i type in the file name manually i can access the file, but when i select a link on the web page it adds :///filename.php to it. why does it add the :/// to the front of it

 

thanx

it has to do with your setup, check your configure.php for your paths to the catalog.

[Noobish-n-stuff]

it's in your configure.php. one of your file paths is not setup correctly.

 

it should look something like this:

 define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxxxxxx');
 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'true'); // use persistent connections?

?>

 

please note, my HTTPS_SERVER path is slightly different than most. I use shared SSL, so i have to have that crap added in there.
