Just to clarify my post:
I was asking why I received an error message and indicated an example of the
message, and asked what file permissions needed to be set on the templates
directory. I am well aware that the /[path to]/OpenSRS.conf must be changed
to reflect the directory structure of my server.
The default permissions for the templates directory did not work on my
server so I had to change all the .html and .txt files in the various
template directories to chmod 644. This works on my system. Others may work
fine on chmod 755, however I did want to report my findings for others.
Before we start a crusade to abolish "lazy" questions on these
understandably busy lists, let's get the documentation firm and correct
first.
