pauly Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I am trying to install Prestashop on a Dreamhost server. I have followed the instructions here:http://www.prestashop.com/wiki/External_or_Friendly_URLsto allow friendly urls which seems to have worked properly.The problem I have is I get an error during the "System and permissions" stage of installation. "Write permissions on folders and subfolders/recursively: /themes/prestashop/lang" comes up as red and wont allow me to continue.I have tried chmod 777 on that folder and all the files in it which didnt work so I deleted the folder, recreated it, chmodded it then added the files back in which also didnt work.Any suggestions?

pauly Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Alternatively, is there a place I can download old releases of Prestahop to see if it is a problem with the newest release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rizkyramadhan Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 i wonder why prestashop must use allow_url_fopen to get the update functionallity...may be the developer dont know this is issue http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Allow_url_fopen or know this issue and try to solve it in different way . But its still better to avoid allow_url_fopen and use cURL instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
