Permission denied when editing templates.
 

Hello all.

I recently re-installed a backup to my x-cart. After installing and then trying to save an editted template I get a "Permission Denied error"

After doing a search in the forum I came up with this topic...

http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=2789

After reading this I checked my permissions on the template_c directory and it is set to 777. The question I have is the "owner". When I check it thru my sites control panel it shows "owner" as "www" where as the others are set to "chnh12". Do I want owner to be "chnh12" with all the others or something else? I was able to edit templates with the back up file previously and I can still do everthing else thru the admin site.

Thanks
Dave

it may be that the files in the skin1 directory now have a permission value of 644, change this to 666 and you should be good to go.

Hi Shan

The permissions in the skin1 dir were set to 777.
I set them to 666 and the skin would not even come up.(white screen)

Any other suggestions?

Dave

did you set the folder to 666 or the template files .tpl ?

skin1 folder to 777, template files to 666

skin1 is at 777
Do you mean template_c is to be at 666?

Thanks
Dave

no,

skin1 folder set to 777
template files inside skin1 dir set to 666 (ie help.tpl)
templates_c folder set to 777

you shouldnt need to worry about the templates_c directory.

The files that you edit are in the skin1 directory and then xcart compiles them and stores them in templates_c directory

:lol:

Thanks Shan that did it.

I was "assuming" that those changed with the dir folder options.

How about the folders inside skin1 (admin, buttons, customer etc) and the tpl file inside those. Do file permissions need to be set there too?
