If some elements (images, files and etc) are not displayed check the following:
- Check permissions for the var, images, skins, catalog directories and all their files and subdirectories in the root directory of the CS-Cart installation . They should have the 777 permissions. Also check permissions for the config.php file located in the root CS-Cart directory. It should have the 666 permissions (read and write permissions for all).
To set up the permissions:
- On a Unix-based server with terminal access to it use the following commands:
chmod 666 config.php
chmod -R 777 catalog
chmod -R 777 images
chmod -R 777 skins
chmod -R 777 var
- If you do not have terminal access to your server change file access permissions using an FTP client. Most of them have the Change permissions or Change mode functions. With the help of the function you are able to set the permissions for the config.php file and the directories above. The chmod 666 config.php command means that you must set 666 permissions (in other words, read and write permissions for the file user, group and others) for the config.php file. Other commands (e.g. chmod -R 777 catalog) mean that you must set 777 (read, write and execute) permissions for the directory, its subdirectories and all the files under these directories. Refer to your FTP client documentation for more detailed instructions on setting file permissions.
- On a WINDOWS-based server give full permissions for the files and directories to the user with the IUSER_ComputerName account.
- Try to rename the var/skins_repository/.htaccess and var/.htaccess files to var/skins_repository/.htaccess1 and var/.htaccess1. If after that images are displayed properly it means that .htaccess files do not work on your server. Contact your server administrator and ask him about this problem.
