How to set OsCommerce Directory Permissions

As per oscommerce default. You should set following directory permissions via any FTP client e.g Filezilla. Please do the following steps.

  • After installation delete install folder.
  • Reset the permissions on /includes/configure.php to 644 (if you are still getting the warning message at the top set configure.php to 444 which is read only - this happens on some servers that have been updated for security reasons).
  • Set the permissions on /images directory to 777.
  • Reset the permissions on /admin/includes/configure.php to 644.
  • Create the dir /admin/backups and set the permissions to 777.
  • Set the permissions on /admin/images/graphs directory to 777.
  • Set the permissions on /admin directory to 755.
You need to .htaccess your /admin directory so that it is password protected. You can use the password manager in your server admin area like cpanel.
