prestashop 1.5.1 error during installation

[fadi_a]

Hallo evrybody

 

 

I try to install prestashop 1.5.1, and keep getting an error message at the second step "Recursive write permissions on files and folders".

I had the permissions to all folders 755 and I keep getting error at all folders except

themes/default/lang/

themes/default/pdf/lang/

themes/default/cache/.

 

I have "changed the permissions of all folders to 777, but it still gives an error on some folders.

can someone give me some tips.

Try this:

 

1. Check the list of files and folders you have in the copy of the prestashop folder installed in your htdoc folder. You may discover that the listed files and folders in the error message are missing in the copy of prestashop folder you copied to the htdoc.
2. Delete the prestashop folder from the htdoc folder (inside the xampp folder), recopy the unzipped Prestashop folder into htdoc.
3. Go back and refresh the installation page. the problem was solved.

I did this and it worked. Please note I used xampp on windows 7.

 

Thanks

Also, make sure that when you changed the permissions, it effect all the folders and the files within. Maybe the folders are correct, but some files may also need looser restrictions.

you should also check with your hosting provider that you domain runs as 'owner' of your shop domain files.
