robertliss Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Once again stuck in step 3 of PrestaShop Installation process.I went through the Database configuration and I was able to verify it successfully.I also was successful in the Email Set Up step.But, when I press the NEXT button I get the following error message:Can't create settings file, if /config/settings.inc.php exists, please give the public write permissions to this file, else please create a file named settings.inc.php in config directory.What I am supposed to do to get through step 3 of the PrestaShop installation process?ps_ does not work.. What next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patric Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Does the file /config/settings.inc.php exist after this error occurs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lshenefield Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hello all, I'm having the same issue. Any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fafaiel Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Create the file and set the permission to read and write on your ftp or provider control panel. Edited February 28, 2013 by Azis (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lshenefield Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I did all that, several times, and now just completed the installation of my shop with OScommerce, in 1/8th the time. I'll see how it goes. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lshenefield Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm going to try again. I was on a Windows server, and my host said to go Linux. It didn't work with OSCommerce. either. I got the same configure.php issue. I'll try Presta again today or tomorrow and report back. Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fafaiel Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) If you get the windows server, changing permissions on the ftp program wont work. You have to go by the browser or ask the host to create and change the file permission.

lshenefield Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I got it up with linux! So, now I just need to learn some css so I can make my shop look the way I want. Thank you Azis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
