Hi i set up the shop on http://www.benhaywardcycles.com about 2 years ago, and it has been running smoothly ever since, then all of a sudden it comes up with:

Quote:

Warning: main(/home/benhaywa/etc/phpshop.cfg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/benhaywa/public_html/shop/index.php on line 19

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/benhaywa/etc/phpshop.cfg' (include_path='.:/home/benhaywa/etc') in /home/benhaywa/public_html/shop/index.php on line 19

when you click on the shop link - I cant figure it out - any help would be greatly appreciated...

im not really a PHP programmer, and my guy is AWOL, so im floundering a bit with this..

cheers guys

Mike

It could be that your host has updated the version of php on the server.

smallbeer · 08-10-2003, 12:33

What's on line 19 and the surrounding lines?

Has anyone been changing any of the read/write/execute permissions on a folder?

mike_m · 08-10-2003, 12:50

i changed the permissions in the etc folder, and it now works - it does strike me as being insecure though?

Stickman · 08-10-2003, 14:30

From the quote above, the config files are in the etc folder - so I'd guess that changing the permissions isn't the best answer (if you mean to 777).

Have you looked at the readme / install instructions etc that you got with phpshop? Try checking the paths and permissions in that against your current setup.

I don't know the answer but if you want some php guys to look at it for you, try phpers.com they are very good and cheap.
