Some relevant fields in this file are: define('HTTP_SERVER', ''); define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''); define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', ''); define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', ''); define('DB_DATABASE', 'osCommerce'); * If you can't change file permissions in Windows XP make sure "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" is checked off. Problem symptom: Can't change file permission. Right-clicking a file and choosing properties does not show the security tab where read, write and modify permissions can be controlled. Problem solution: Go to Windows Explorer. Click Tools->Folder Options. Select the View tab, and scroll down to find "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" option. Make sure it is checked off.
