New setup error: Warning: fopen(setup.conf.inc.php)....

Hi,

I am installing a fresh version for the new-years release. I created the db and the script seems to fill in the tables, but when I press the "send db data" button in the setup.php (first screen where you put the db-name and password) I get the following message:

Code: Select all

Warning: fopen(setup.conf.inc.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/httpd/vhosts/mysite.nl/httpdocs/cms4/setup/setup.func.inc.php on line 38

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/vhosts/mysite.nl/httpdocs/cms4/setup/setup.func.inc.php:38) in /home/httpd/vhosts/mysite.nl/httpdocs/cms4/setup/setup.php on line 67

I copied all the new files over the excisting files of a test version of the old phpwcms, so rights can not be the prob since that version worked fine. I only changed the db-name and password settings in the config file.

What is wrong? Any ideas?

Thank you!

Did you change the files and folders access rights?

No I did not change rights.

I copied the new files over the old ones and ran the setup.php.
I only made a new db so I did not run the upgrade but a complete new setup.

Then that error appears.

I would suggest changing the access rights first. then go through setup steps and Then download the conf.inc.php and save it in your include/inc_conf folder. then log in.

But what access rights should I change. Indead the script tries to write something in the mentioned line. But the rights as I have them did work fine on the old version.

???

I think when you upload files and folders to your server, they overwrite the old ones, and the access rights changes to the default settings of the files and folders you uploaded.

Please see this document for more info.

Thanks!!

It was the inc file itself that had to be chmod to '666'.
Indead some dirs where changed due to the upload. I thought he would leave that intact.
