Hello, I am having a problem with the process on instillation. How can I fix the errors that it says? See below, this is what is says.

 

New Installation

 

osCommerce Configuration

 

The following error has occurred:

 

The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set.

 

Please perform the following actions:

cd /home/sites/site73/web/db/oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/includes/

touch configure.php

chmod 706 configure.php

cd /home/sites/site73/web/db/oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/includes/

touch configure.php

chmod 706 configure.php

 

If chmod 706 does not work, please try chmod 777.

 

If you are running this installation procedure under a Microsoft Windows

environment, try renaming the existing configuration file so a new file can

be created.

 

 

 

Do you know how I can change this and what I can do to fix it? Thanks a lot awaiting your response.

chmod means to change the file properties, as far as read/write/execute. going left to right,

 

rwxrwxrwx is like counting with binary, with the r in each column being a 4, the w being a 2 and the x being a 1

 

when installing most systems need to have the configure.php files at 777

after installation, then change them to 644

 

you can do this via ftp or the unix prompt.

 

remember, UGO . . .

With your ftp program highlight the file or folder in your webspace and right click, then select properties.

 

you will see the permission boxes for read write execute.

 

777 is read write execute for all i.e. check all boxes

 

You may find that you need to set the status to 444 instead of 644 in order to get rid of the warnings after install.

If you are using FTP to upload your files, the instructions in the URL I sent you are well explained.

 

Is your Web site hosted through a professional hosting company? If so, try contacting your tech support for help if you can't figure this out.

 

If you're running this on your own server, then -- in all sincerity -- I strongly recommend you move to a professional hosting company in order to protect the integrity of your data once your shopping cart is online, at least until you have a better understanding of the technology.
