Magento File Permissions + Strange errors

I've just done a fresh install of Magento but I'm getting some bizarre errors:

For example within the admin area I go into System - 开发者_JAVA技巧Import / Export - Profiles ; then I just get

There has been an error processing your request Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons. Error log record number: 682005239838

I'm getting this pretty much everywhere... So I thought I'd upgrade Magento so went into Connect to do an upgrade: but when trying this I'm get also getting insufficient permission errors.

So I'm probably assuming that all of this is related.

Can anybody please advise, on what chmod permission I should set and on which folders? and Will this solve all my dramas?

Best Regards

Shane

Sorted!

php safe mode was switched on by accident! Doh!

The file permissions should be:

MAGETO_ROOT/app/etc - writable

MAGETO_ROOT/media/ - writable

MAGETO_ROOT/var/ - writable

The rest folders and wiles should have regular permissions.

Now, about the error you have got. You should try open a file MAGETO_ROOT/var/reports/report/682005239838 and you will see more detailed where your problem is.

If you want to see your error reports without going to FTP -- just rename file MAGETO_ROOT/errors/local.xml.sample to MAGETO_ROOT/errors/local.xml
