CuteNews Error

I've been trying to Install CuteNews and I've been getting this error.

Quote:

Cute News v1.3.6 Installer

Sorry but installer can not write to file ./data/users.db.php,
please check if file exist and if it is properly CHMOD`edPHP Warning: fopen(./data/users.db.php) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\Ensim\Sitedata\faerie\Inetpub\wwwroot\cutenews\inc\install.mdu on line 219

How can I fix that?

Did you CHMOD all of your files it says to 777?

Do I have to go into all the folders and CHMOD the stuff in them too?
Or just CHMOD the folder itself?

And here was I thinking you can't CHMOD stuff on Windows Servers... :roll:

You can't. (you mightve been being sarcastic, but i didn't see so if you did.)

Do you use CPanel? If so, then just click on each file (Yes, EACH file) and click change permissions. Then check all of the boxes. If it says in the readme or whatever to only CHMOD certain files, then only CHMOD certain files.

My site didn't come with CPanel.
I just use FTP all the time...

Did your site come with PHP support? You don't need MySQL either for CuteNews, as it doesn't use a database. If your site didn't come with PHP support, you're out of luck. However, there are some places where you can get free CuteNews that is hosted at their site. I'll edit this post and tell you the sites when I remember them.

I don't know.
A friend bought my site (FireFaerieDoll.com) for me.
Staghosting I use.....

Yeah, your site came with CPanel, according to your host. You also have PHP, MySQL, all that stuff. Well your news appears to be working fine.

Try seeing if db.php even exists (/data/users.db.php). If it does, make sure you have edited it so it can actually connect to your database. Apparently CuteNews DOES use a database. :oops:

Also, for your other error (C:\Program Files\Ensim\Sitedata\faerie\Inetpub\wwwroot\cutenews\inc\install.mdu), make sure that line 219 of the code is correct, and that it is CHMODDED. If you don't feel like counting to 219 to find the error, then go Start>Run>type command, then edit, and paste the code of that file in there and find line 219. (It will be easier to find cause the application I just showed you has a counter.

Oh, by the way, if you want to access your control panel, go to:
http://www.firefaeriedoll.com/cpanel

PS: Since CuteNews uses a database, and you didn't access CPanel, make a database for it (It should have directions that came with CuteNews on how to make one) and maybe that will work.

I don't have CPanel.
And that doesn't work fixing that other error.

Are you sure you don't have one? It mioght not have shown up because you wern't logged in at the time.

There is no CPanel on his server. The Windows (!) server runs Ensim (root of all evil) on IIS (err... who does that stuff?).
(This means you can forget about CHMOD'ing and accessing CPanel)

Try a different news script (check if there's one designed to work under windows?)?
