Cole Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I have searched the forum and the Wiki files but cannot find the solution to this problem. I am attempting to install but cannot understand what I need to do to get past this error message? <Error Message> The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set. Please perform the following actions: cd /home/modeller/public_html/oscommerce/catalog/includes/ touch configure.php chmod 706 configure.php cd /home/modeller/public_html/oscommerce/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. This is just after I have hit the contune button on the New Installation osCommerce Configuration section of the installation. Your help and assistance will be truly appreciated.

241 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 you are being asked to change the permissions of the two configure.php files this can be done using an FTP program. Connect to your server webspace with the FTP program locate the file, right click, select properties and set the permissions to the requested CHMOD 777 read write ececute for all that is every box checked No longer giving free advice.

Guest Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Before you start installation you have to chmod both catalog and admin/includes/configure.php to 777 so installation can write on them This document should help you also The_Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 Briiliant! I have done what you said and it is starting to look great. Although this is coming up on the top of the catalogue Warning: Installation directory exists at: /home/modeller/public_html/oscommerce/catalog/install. Please remove this directory for security reasons. Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/modeller/public_html/oscommerce/catalog/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. Any ideas what it is? Thank you for your very kind help :) Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
