[tonkali]

Hi All,

I urgently need someone to help me. Just finished an upgrade from 1.3.5 > 1.3.7 and all appears well except for the home page, I get this:

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/name/public_html/catalog/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php on line 39

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/name/public_html/catalog/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php on line 39

Have you set the permissions on folder /includes/languages/english/html_includes to 777?

[tonkali]

eGad!!!

thanks I hadn't done that but just changed permission. Now I get on the page:

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_page_2.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/blahhh/public_html/blah/includes/templates/opium_custom/templates/tpl_page_2_default.php on line 21


and in the admin:


Define Pages Editor for: english
Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: Stat failed for /home/blah/public_html/blah/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/blah/public_html/blah/admin/define_pages_editor.php on line 22

I might be wrong, but I suspect all of the files in the folder need 777 permissions as well, if you want to edit or change them.
In your case however, it's complaining about the classic folder inside the html_includes folder. Needs to be 777 as well.

yeah i chmod'ed all but still no go any other ideas?

in the admin, it's actually telling me:
Define Pages Editor for: english

for all the pages in that folder

[tonkali]

ok Chuckl, thank you so much for helping me :)

ws_ftp wasn't letting me chmod so I went to cpanel and waaaala!!!!

All is well (at least it looks it on the surface).

cricky, no sleep boy will I be worthless at the other job ;).

Again, thanks for responding surely appreciate it.

Be very careful making files and directories have permissions of 777!! With all due respect (not sure how well you understand the permission structure), the first digit are permissions allowed to the file (or directory) owner. Second digit assigns group permissions. Third digit are the permissions allowed to everyone else...ie the public.

So when you assign 777, you are allowing the file (or directory) owner, group AND public full read/write/execute permissions. This is very dangerous!!

Although your problem "appears" resolved because the site is working, you still need to track down why such permissive requirements were necessary. Perhaps the owner and group settings (chown, chgrp) for your files and directories are not set correctly?

Included with the downloaded Zen Cart files is a docs directory. Read up on securing your site. You might also seek some guidance from your server host admin.

Thanks for the lookout lib99! Read the security documentation included with the upgrade and all files are set accordingly!
