I have a question I know I will get heat for asking so I apologize now. I am attempting to get coppermine 1.4 working on a site hosted by hostonce. I copied the files over and created the db. I can connect to the db, but when running the install I get the famous
Unable to write config file 'include/config.inc.php'
I have tripled checked all the permissions and all are as wide open as hostonce will allow me to put them.
I have read the install doc, and all the posts regarding perms, but after 5 hours, I'm still at a loss here.
Does anyone have advise? Hostonce experience?
Thanks
Mike
What exactly did you set for permissions?
it's windows hosting so full read and write.
I even pulled the files back down to my PC, checked the writes locally, and reposted to the server hoping that would correct any permission issue, but no luck
If it's Windows hosting: IIS or Apache? Did you read the permissions section of the docs (http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#permissions)? They explain permissions, which are special on IIS: you have to explicitely allow write access for the I_USR.

This doesn't prove anything, Windows-permissions are lost when FTPing files.
As far as I can see, you're talking about write protection of files. This is not what permissions on Windows servers are about.
That's not listed by hostonce. I would want to guess IIS as they converted everything to Microsoft from Linux hosting a few years ago, but have no spec on this matter.
at hostonce you do not have access to user privileges so I cannot add rights to a user as described in the install doc, which I did read fully before posting.
Hostonce does list coopermine as a "supported product" however they don't support the application itself nor the install
Then ask them how to for support: you don't have to particularly request support for coppermine; just tell them what folders need to be writable.
