configure.php read/write problems.

[Intrinzik]

I hope somebody can help me out here...I've racked my brains to figure out how to fix this problem and I'm about to give up and switch to another product.

Here's the situation. I've installed ZenCart on my server. The install went fine, only took about five to ten minutes. Dotster.com is my host. I use standard windows (IIs) hosting for my website.

Ok, so here is the problem. Zen Cart is still saying that the /includes/configure.php can still be written to. The permissions for the file are read only... I even called Dotster.com to verify that it was set properly. Only authenticated FTP users may write to the file, but Dotster.com will not change this for me...and I don't think it should be a problem.

Does anybody have ANY advice? I'll try anything at this point - I've literally spent hours pouring over and reinstalling everything to try to get it to be set up correctly...

Thanks in advance,

I do not do windows but just a reality check - there are 2 configure.php files and are yo certian that you have set them both to RO?

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

I just double checked...they are both RO. Interestingly, the other file, which is has the exact same permissions, does not register a problem with Zen Cart.

Just so you guys know, I switched to linux hosting and fixed the problem in 10 minutes flat. Curses on windows! The whole thing works beautifully now...

Thanks for the update!

We do highly recommend unix over windows ...
