install coming along

[tonyem]

hi,

 

got the catalog page to come up. the configure.php files are still there. catalog the admin tool page does not come up.

 

the wiki instructions have this:

 

"Click the "Continue" Button ... You are nearly finished!

 

Rename the catalog/install folder or delete it.

Reset the permissions on /catalog/includes/configure.php to 644 (if you are still getting the warning message at the top set configure.php to 444 which is read only - this happens on some servers that have been updated for security reasons).

Set the permissions on /catalog/images directory to 777

Reset the permissions on /admin/includes/configure.php to 644

Create the dir /admin/backups and set the permissions to 777

Set the permissions on /admin/images/graphs directory to 777

 

You need to .htaccess your /admin directory so that it is password protected. You can use the password manager in your server admin area like cpanel."

 

 

how do you set permissions. for example, when going to the images directory i do not see a file called permissions. where am i goofy?

 

 

 

thank you,

use an ftp program to connect to your server then locate the file or directory that you want to set permissions right click, select properties then set the permissions chmod 444 is read only chmod 777 is read write execute for all etc

hi,

 

i get the CHMOD to open up to OWNER- (read, write), GROUP-(read), OTHER-(read). there are no numbers listed.

 

just to confirm i understand. is it that therefore since OWNER is read write this means chmod777. and GROUP & OTHER which are both read, are chmod 444.

permissions owner group other

read

write

execute

 

read is 4

write is 2

execute is 1

 

so 444 is read(owner) read(group) read(other)

so 644 is read,write(owner) read(group) read(other)

so 777 is read,write,execute(owner) read,write,execute(group) read,write,execute(other)

 

add the number up in the column then write it down, move to next column and add up the numbers in that column write this next to the first number then add up the number in the last column and write this down

 

so the number matrix is

444

222

111

 

if all boxes are checked then this is 777

Emmm ... make a search with Google about Unix File Permissions ... :ph34r:

 

[Or just read the previous posting! :P ]

[tonyem]

excellent responses. thank you. i did not know this was unix stuff. kind of addicting.

i used cute ftp which shows the numbers below each column - much easier than trying to do maths!
