Help Installing Cs-Cart

General Installation & Upgrade
1

Every time I try to install cs-cart I get "500 Internal Server Error"

I have set file permissions correctly

Please help me.

my host with bluehost

You’ll have to look at your apache domlogs to identify the problem. Your host can help you.

4

On what step do you get this error?

5

At no step

I upload the zip file , Extract it in root, using Putty to set the permissions

chmod 666 config.local.php

chmod -R 777 design images var

find design -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 666

find images -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 666

find var -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 666

then in browser (try explorer chrome and opera) go to www.mydomain.ws/install

​I get blank page in chrome and opera and error 500 in explorer

Try to set 755 on the Install directory if it has 777

7

Its 755 but the sub directory inside is 777

8

I set all sub directory to 755 and the install start

Thanks

9

I set all sub directory to 755 and the install start

Yes, the install directory and it's content should not have 777

Can someone please tell me WHICH files in the design directory are changed to 666 permissions with the following command:

find design -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 666

Does this command set permissions for files in the sub-directories (recursively) to 666?

Or,

Does it only set permissions for files in only the design directory (design/index.php and design/.htaccess) to 666?

All "files" and no "directories".

In most modern methods of deploying php (suPHP or fastCGI methods) , this should be 644 rather than 666. And directory permissions should be 755 versus 777.

I know the command does not change the permissions of directories.

Yes, my question is whether or not it is recursive into all the files in all the sub-directories? FileZilla can do that.

13

Yes, the 'find' command is recursive from the location provided (I.e. '.' or 'design', etc.)

14

Thank you so much Tony.

FileZilla can change file permissions and provides a checkbox for "Recursive into sub-directories", and an option for "Apply to files only". Since I don't do shell access, I needs elaboration on what files "find" was finding!

Just make sure you are logging into your ftp site with the proper user for correct ownership. It should match your cpanel user id (or equivalent). Do NOT do as root.
