Hi,

I'm setting up osCommerce on my webpage. I'm stuck here. I keep getting this error message.. does anyone know what i might be doing wrong?


Warning: fopen(/www/vndv.com/i/c/r/icr8/htdocs/catalog/includes/configure.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/vndv.com/i/c/r/icr8/htdocs/catalog/install/templates/pages/install_4.php on line 116

I'm new to all this so i might be making a simple mistake...some where.

thanks

No it's not a mistake, fopen has been disabled to prevent abuse on the server.

What should be done about it? I am attempting to setup a db installing the tables programattically from php pages.

Any thoughts would be helpful, I just can't edit the script in the pages, or I could, but I am unsure as the result.

You can't use any scripts that uses fopen function. fopen is a protocol handler. If allowed, it will leave the server open for abuse as stated by Andrew

Fopen is fine, url fopen is not; this is probably down to permissions, ask the osCommerce community, I'm sure they'll be able to diagnose the problem.

Damn I was wrong. I thought that looked wrong. Should have done research to prove myself wrong. Sorry for the miscommunication.
