my problem is simple and i know you will all laugh but anyway i have just got my shop up and runing but cant get the default text off the front page (index) so i went to files via admin then english and then index clicked to edit and i get this

 

Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions on: /home/httpd/www.tradeworlduk.co.uk/html/oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog//includes/languages/english/index.php

 

ok stop laughing i know its simple im just not that good

so how do i do it ?

thanks

you ether need to edit the files then upload them or change the permissions on the server so you can rite to them but make sure you make them read only once you are done!

Don't edit them using the admin's built in editor or you'll be back here quickly with a "Help, I've got n's all over my page!!" thread.

What platform are you on (MacOS X, Windows, Linux, *BSD, BobsHouseOfFishOS)? If it is a *nix, are you comfortable on the command line?

some people do not have access to the *nix shell command line. so if not, then download the file to your system (always best to have a complete copy locally anyway), make the changes then upload to your server. after using ftp, or some mode to upload, you need to set the permissions properly.
