    Default Installation on Yahoo

    Hi, Yahoo hosting does not permit me change the attributes of the files configure.php, so my installation will not work.
    Is there a way around it?

    A real host is there to help you out. They will help you out with all kinds of stuff. (I use hostvector if that helps you out)

    Unless Yahoo can offer you the services that a real host can - stay away from them for a number of reasons including the above.

    A good one is for security and accounting purposes < definitely accounting. The cost of a host would be considered an expense and possibly a tax write off - don't know if you'd get that with yahoo.

    I also don't see anything re their PHP - they might also be more expensive - you might also be forced to use their shopping cart - makes using Zencart a Mute point.

    Hi I hosted with yahoo for a year so know the frustrations - you can change the attributes/permissions using your ftp (worked for me with firezilla) good luck and sorry but they are right get a new host
