I just installed (1.3.7) useing Fantastico, when I go to edit Define Pages Editor I get,
Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions on: /home/stictcom/public_html/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/define_main_page.php

PS: I will be useing cpanel

The problem could be at one of two levels

In cpanel navigate to your public_html/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/ directory
On the right of the screen will be a 3 digit number that says something like 644 or 777.
If it says anything other than 777, click on the folder icon on the left then look for the change permissions link on the right and set it to 777.

Then go into the directory and do the same for the file you listed below.

Finally (and not part of solving the problem that you posted), go through your site and rename the classic directories to create your own template name and select it in the Admin as otherwise you risk overwriting your changes with the default Zen Cart classic when you upgrade.

I would also suggest NOT making the changes with c-panel,
for setting permissions is SLOW and time consuming,
and for making file edits, it seems to think its smarter than the folks that wrote the code and likes to add its little touches to it.

Yes. But Merlin is very sage in these matters. FTP is very easy to use and a core Zen Carting skill, so maybe it would be wise to acquire this skill early.

ok I gona try ftp if that is the best, a few more ???'s first tho.
since I am going into ftp should I change my templet first??
and then change all listed below???
and is there any more changes that needs to be made??

Connect to your site with your FTP program.
Move to your public_html directory, and perhaps into your "zencart" folder underneath public_html, if you've used a subfolder.

Then look for a "Properties" command that can be applied to that directory (often if you right click, Properties will be one of the options).
Then change the permissions to the needed setting for the following folders:
(If prompted whether to include files/folders underneath them (also called "recursive"), say or check "Yes")

All of these to 777:

• /cache
• /pub
• /images
• /includes/languages/english/html_includes
• /admin/backups
• /admin/images/graphs

These to 444 or 644

• /includes/configure.php
• /admin/includes/configure.php

Thanks so much for helping this Nuttty Old LadyWalk in BeautySameeee^i^

First, never, ever, EVER use the editor that comes with CPanel to edit php files. It will give you endless heartache. Use notepad, textpad or Crimson Editor to edit the files on your local machine and then FTP the changes to your site.

I use CPanel to change the permissions. I've found that it sometimes doesn't listen, tho.

ok I really must be a dummy I just can't get this right

I have gone to ftp right clicked on the right side of the screen but there is no Properties" command but there is file attributes when clicked it shows the 9 check boxs and all are set to 777 & 644
