Issue installing PHPVMS

[sasvirtual]

When I went to install PHP VMS after uploading to a webhost. I ran the installation but got an error saying that core/local.config.php isnt writable. Also how do i write the permissions as stated on the prelimanary installation requirements. I have also use www.000webhost.com as my host.

Please help i am very new to this and I need to have this site up asap.

If the file does not exisit yet, create it yourself with nothing in it and make sure the permissions are correct. If it already exsists check the permissions and make sure it is writable. You can check/change permissions using your ftp client easily.

So how do you write permissions, im not familiar how to do that.

using your ftp client change the config file from 644 to 666 after your install is done, change your local_config.php back to 644. You can do this in your ftp client by right clicking the file in question and going to properties.

Here is a handy link that describes setting permissions. http://www.washington.edu/computing/unix/permissions.html

I get this error when trying to upload core/local.config.php

Warning: fopen(/home/a9333231/public_html/core//local.config.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/a9333231/public_html/install/Installer.class.php on line 56

This is a permissions error, set that file to 777

You can download FileZilla and use that to change the permissions.

[sasvirtual]

can you give me a step by step instruction on how to do that after i installed it

I figured out how to set the permissions but when i uploaded the phpvms file, i got this error:

Fatal error: Class 'DB' not found in /home/a9333231/public_html/core/common/SettingsData.class.php on line 28

how can this be fixed?

Try re-uploading the files up again. That is usually an indication of a corrupted file.
