errors connecting database os max: how to solve

[doumawis]

for the connection with the database i have to solve these errors:

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

Please perform the following actions:
cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/includes/
touch configure.php
chmod 706 configure.php
cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/admin/includes/
touch configure.php
chmod 706 configure.php

Hi Doumawis

Set your file permissions in your cpanel to 777 for the file confgure.php both in admin and catalog (includes), otherwise your database cannot write to your files. If you do not know how to do this, your host should be able to tell you.

Hi,

Unfortanely no permission


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following error has occurred:


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

Please perform the following actions:
cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/includes/
touch configure.php
chmod 706 configure.php
cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/admin/includes/
touch configure.php
chmod 706 configure.php

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

If you are running this installation procedure under a Microsoft Windows environment, try renaming the existing configuration file so a new file can be created.

well you have point

it is linux based accoording the cpanel and i was thinking first windows ( because i use windows) and ignore the installation message during the installof the osmax script


Did you also noticed the error message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/includes/
---------------------------------------------------------------------
touch configure.php
chmod 706 configure.php

cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/admin/includes/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
touch configure.php
chmod 706 configure.php

I solved it: the right order of installation:

FIRST SET THE PERMISSION OF THE 2 configure.php IN THE INCLUDESDIRECTORY TO 777=> now can the install script writing on it!
