The entire install went along smooth untill ;)

The following came out, I am fairly new to programming (php and mySQL) it seems that using a mac is a bit different, I cannot right click on a file to change the CHMO to 777, does anyone have the same problem,

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

Please perform the following actions:

 

* cd /home/tufuente/public_html/catalog/includes/

* touch configure.php

* chmod 706 configure.php

 

* cd /home/tufuente/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/

They need to be read only. Not sure how to do in on a mac.

To do this in MAC you have to open the Terminal which should be installed on your computer . You open that and it takes you to a prompt. hopefully you are familiar with the prompt usage. If you are change dir to wherever your files are and

chmod xxx filename.php should do it

 

need more info let me know

Thanks Krikor for the fast reply, it happens that im very well rounded with Macs, but then again you threw me off balance with the FOLLOWING:

 

"Terminal which should be installed on your computer . You open that and it takes you to a prompt. hopefully you are familiar with the prompt usage."

 

AND no i am not familiar with this :-((

 

Can you help with out with this, I will have access to a Windows XP later today Chicago, USA 7:40 a.m.

 

But I do hope to do it with the Mac

 

Thanks

That is a great site you have, listen i just installed a surveillance system, but the streaming on it, especially when viewing it from a remote server is extremely slow, about 2 to 3 frames per second, the system runs on Windows 98, 2000 or xp (it's a relatives computer)

and so i would like to know if installing a different video card (say a faster video card) would pick up the speed on the frames :unsure:

 

Thanks for the help

Im not sure what this terminal is either... What I can ask, is do you have a cpanel or backend to be able to access your files via the internet? They usually provide acess to permissions, etc.

 

What FTP program are you using?

Okay,go into your MAC HD>Applications>Utilities>Terminal

 

You do need to know some coding for thism though.

 

I know in OS9 Fetch allows you to chmod files... but I am new to OSX, also. You might browse around the internet and see if there are any tutorials for using the Terminal.

I have been fooling around in the terminal, and here is what I have gotten:

 

If you open the terminal and type in: man ftp

it will give you the commands avd overview for the protocalls. Using the terminal is very similar to DOS, btw- if you have ever used it. If it doesnt open with a new shell, select new shell from the file menu.

 

This is how I was able to connect to my files. The red is the terminal's copy:

Welcome to Darwin!

mymacs-Computer:~ mymac$ ftp

ftp> ftp

(to) mysite.com

Connected to mysite.com.

220 host*** FTP server ready

Name (mysite.com:mymac): userlogin

331 Password required for userlogin.

Password:**********

230 User userlogin logged in.

Remote system type is UNIX.

Using binary mode to transfer files.

After here, I'm not sure yet how to specify the files, but I think the 'man help' command should help you.

If you would like to be able to see the help from outside of the terminal, you can go to http://www.osxfaq.com where there are forums.

 

Hope this helps.
