Dumb questions are fine, as long as they're easy ones.   :wink: 

Did you test your installation and see if it worked before installing the STS mods?

I notice that you don't have a /catalog/ directory listed in the error message.  Are the files from your /catalog/ directory actually stored in your /home/freedom/public_html/test/ directory?

Make sure all the OSC files are actually in the .../catalog/includes/ directory.

It looks like you might have deleted the files in the directory (filenames.php in particular).  It looks like you might have deleted them and then installed the ones from STS.  Don't do that.  Simply copy the files from STS into the directory to replace what's there.  Leave the rest of the files alone.

Then, check the permissions of the files and make sure that the web server process (usually, Apache runs as the user "nobody").  If you're running Linux/Unix try typing [code]cd /home/freedom/public_html/test/includes/
chmod 755 *.php[/code]

This will set all your PHP files to be readable to all processes on the system, and only writable by you.
This should make sure that the web server can actually read your files.
