Looks good but stuck early on

Hi everyone, totally new to the wonderful wolrd of os.

 

I have my own webserver which is hosted by an external ISP, I also have MySql running and PHP.

 

In the past I have written a website (ecommerce) using MySql, PHP and good old fashioned HTML.

 

Not very good - but working.

 

I've now downloaded the files (I'm using Windows XP), installed these files into a user account on my webserver.

 

I've created a database on my MySql server, gone to the home directory and the page that is stated as coming up does indeed come up !!

 

I can then proceed to confirm details such as the webserver, mysql server, etc - the database is then populated with the tables required for the os and things proceed ok.

 

This is until I get the following error

 

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

Please perform the following actions:

cd /home/users/wcsuk.net/harry/public_html/includes/

touch configure.php

chmod 706 configure.php

cd /home/users/wcsuk.net/harry/public_html/admin/includes/

touch configure.php

chmod 706 configure.php :(

 

I've connected to my webserver, changed the CHMOD on pretty much all files to 777 - but I can't seem to go anyfurther.

 

I know this is me being thick - I just can't seemed to solve the issue !!

 

Anyone got any ideas ?

 

Thanks

 

Dave.

This does not always work using an FTP client - try your webserver control panel to set directory/file permissions.
