Hello,

 

i want install oscommerce on my server but when i install this, i have an error and I don't know correct it.

 

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

 

Please perform the following actions:

cd /home2/xxxxxxxxx/html/xxxxxxxxx/catalog/includes/

touch configure.php

chmod 706 configure.php

cd /home2/xxxxxxx/html/xxxxxxxxx/catalog/admin/includes/

touch configure.php

chmod 706 configure.php

 

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

 

can you help me ??

Thanks Phil

Hi,

CHMOD is how you set the access permissions on a linux server, if you are using linux then connect to your hosting space via FTP navigate to the files you need to change first catalog/includes/configurre.php & than catalog/admin/includes/configure.php.

find the files, and left click once to highlight it, then right click and select properties, you should see an option to CHMOD click on this and set the number to 777, do the same for the other file if you do not see CHMOD then it should be inder settings or properties.

Once you are installed change the files back to 644

if you are using a windows server the permissions are, read only for 644 & archive for 777.
