ibandyop Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 From cPanel if a database called adamjm35_osCommerce is created. Make sure you have created a user that can access the database from cPanel. Have not used cPanel. Assuming it has a way to create a user and password that can access the database. Sorry to see you have been trying this for while. ibandyop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please perform the following actions: * cd /home/adamjm53/public_html/catalog/includes/ * touch configure.php * chmod 706 configure.php * cd /home/adamjm53/public_html/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. what am i supost to do?

ibandyop Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Use a file manager from cPanel or use an FTP client then change the file permissions to 777. If you have shell access do run the chmod command exactly like it says. By the way. The oscommerce wiki documents the installation pretty good. ibandyop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
