Can't Get Past System Inspection

[ashgrey]

Ok, I am relatively new to the whole ecommerce thing, but I do consider myself rather tech savvy

Thing is, I have followed this forum for the last 10 hours and done everything that different people say I should do... yet nothing seems to be working. I cannot get past the System Inspection page.

It says that the admin/includes/configure.php file needs to be writable - which it is
Also it says that includes/configure.php file is also unwritable = i have checked these files a million times and they ARE writable.

One last error is PHP session.use_trans_sid = ON ... dunno what to do about this one... Anyone willing to help a newbie?? Please?

Thanks

It appears that you can't change permissions on some hosts' Windows servers. I assume you've tried using your control panel File Manager, as well as FTP. You may have to contact your host, or (my suggestion) find a new one which uses Linux servers.

I'm not a Linux fanboy, but Zencart seems happier running on Linux, and I prefer to use hosts which allow me to do the stuff I need to do.

Yeah, every time i try to change the file permissions from 666 to 777 - it automatically resets to 666. Although, the user manual for zen cart says that 666 is also acceptable.

try 755 not all unix permissions in the cp translate correctly to windows read/write permissions
