I am trying to install PayPal Modul in my Shop. First step is to copy “check\_system\_requirements.php” in root folder of the shop, then to try to call it in browser.

I am getting this message: Fatal error: Unable to read 1729 bytes in /kunden/myName\_myName/webseiten/online\_shop/check\_system\_requirements.php on line 0

I checked with my provider, all what is required is there (cURL, Open SSL, SOAP, Zend Optimizer, Libxml version 2.6.30)

I have no idea what is next to do. Anybody to help?

thank you

Check if the file is there, then check the permissions the file has 755 ?

The file is there, permission was 740, now is 755 - no, it is the same message

Hi Slava,
