dylan684 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Im trying to install the ZenCart shopping cart onto my already existing website and have no experience with PHP or installing shopping carts, i am familiar with html coding. I have uploaded all the files that i downloaded from zencart to my web server and i am following the tutorial that they provided. The tutorial says i must chance the file permissions on certain files to "777", i have no clue how to do this. The tutorial says it is as simple as right clicking on the file name in the file manager on the web server and selecting "properties" then checking/unchecking options but there is no "properties". Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using firefox and windows xp if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revraz Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Use a 3rd party FTP client like WS_FTP. You should be asking your Host these questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan684 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 my host isnt available, their support tickets take up to 48 hours to get answered, a back and forth conversation could take a week! (find a new host, i know, too late) anyway, if you can help that would be excellent. where can i find this ftp client you suggested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raku Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 If you have SSH access to the server, just ssh in and chmod the files. For example: chmod 777 file.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
