install prestashop on windows host. Why not?

[fabiope]

Hello,
I tried to install prestashop under host windows, but I had some difficulties (it's not possible to execute chmod 777)
So, I saw, on this forum that prestashop is not compatible with host windows.

Why is'it the problem with allow on the directory?

I hope you can help me

You can change folder and file permision on window server, simply ask you host the way to do it... The only issue may be the path from admin side with the '/' as windows do not gear it like *nix box...

I made a copy from my local prestahsop (files and sql) and I copied (and import sql) its to host (windows) target.
I configured correctly prestashop_HOME/config/settings.inc.php
So, when i request prestashop home page, the result is a blank page, when i request prestashop admin page the request is correct.

Which is the differences?
Why the admins page respond correctly and the others page respond always with a blank page?
It seems that the prestashops 'SMARTY' doesn't work correctly under hosting windows.

Anyone can explain it to me...

I don't understand.
Best regard,

Double check file/folders permissions...

thanks for your reply,
the problem is that I CAN'T SET PERMISSION chmod 777 (as install prestashop procudure say).
I have only Read and (sometimes) Write permission

So,
Why the admins page respond correctly and the others page respond always with a blank page?
Doesn't the prestashops ‘SMARTY’ work correctly under hosting windows, and without chmode 777 on the directory???

Tnk, Fabiopè

You wont be able to set them to 777 they wont work ... You need to have 755
for folders and 644 for files.
