Hello Adammc,



We are sorry to hear that you experience such a problem.



In order to learn more information about permissions on CS-Cart files, please refer to this article in our Knowledge Base: [url]CS-Cart Documentation — CS-Cart 4.15.x documentation



If you noticed some suspicious files on your server, please do the following:


  • Install a good anti-virus system (if you do not have any) and check your computer, delete all viruses and trojan programs
  • Change all access information to your sites (FTP, Cpanel)
  • Remove unnecessary files.

Hi, thanks for the reply,



I was after more info on the exact recomendadations for CS-carts folder/file permissions. Is there a KB doc that tells me what for example to set the ‘var’ folder or the skins folders ?

Thank you for the reply, Adamcc.



Yes, this article provides a detailed instruction on permissions on CS-Cart files:



Most of the CS-Cart files should have the 644 permissions, and all directories must be set to 755. The var, images, skins and catalog directories and all their subdirectories and files should have the 777 permissions. This is required to allow CS-Cart to upload files to these directories for routine operations. As regards the config.local.php file, it must have the 666 permissions (in the installed CS-Cart).
