ausipodskins Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi, I've managed to get to step 7 of the install but I get the following message: "The following error has occurred: The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set. Please perform the following actions: cd /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/piquet/catalog/includes/ touch configure.php chmod 706 configure.php cd /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/piquet/catalog/admin/includes/ touch configure.php chmod 706 configure.php If chmod 706 does not work, please try chmod 777." I have deleted all the catalog files from the server and reinstalled them, still no improvement. I have no idea what I am being told to do. I have looked thru this forum but I couldn't see any answer, so please forgive me if I missed it. thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanR Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Reinstalling won't help, you've got to fix the problem which is that the configure files are non writeable. Use your ftp program or file manager and change the permissions on these configure files to make them writeable. Here's a handy-dandy chmod calulator to help you understand what you're doing. http://www.ninjasuit.com/scripts/script.php?script_id=63 Local: Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Apache 2.2/php 5.3.0/MySQL 5.4.10 • Web Servers: Linux Tools: BBEdit, Coda, Versions (Subversion), Sequel Pro (db management) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausipodskins Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 thanks alan R, that makes a lot more sense now. Seeing as I use Mac OSX, the chmod numbers do appear in the info box in my FTP program. Only the numbers aren't called "chmod"! I now get a new error message: New Installation osCommerce Configuration Warning: fopen("/home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/piquet/catalog/admin/includes/configure.php", "w") - No such file or directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/piquet/catalog/install/templates/pages/install_7.php on line 259 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/piquet/catalog/install/templates/pages/install_7.php on line 260 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/piquet/catalog/install/templates/pages/install_7.php on line 261 The configuration was successful! is this anything to worry about?

AlanR Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 is this anything to worry about? I can't quite figure out what the messages refer to but forget about it for now. It looks like some weirdness with the installer. If you've got a problem it will show up later and you can solve it then. Just get started, it gets easier and easier with a little practice.
