babis Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 for poeple who have no idea what was said just above.. well I'll try to explainCHMOD = change the permissions mode of a file or directory[b:5ae1b9243c]Example[/b:5ae1b9243c]Type in chmod 744 so what does this do? The three numbers are the permissions for user, group, and other. [i:5ae1b9243c]Execute[/i:5ae1b9243c] permissions correspond to a value of 1[i:5ae1b9243c]Write[/i:5ae1b9243c] permissions correspond to a value of 2[i:5ae1b9243c]Read[/i:5ae1b9243c] permissions correspond to a value of 4. To set permissions:Figure out what permissions you want to set for each party and add up the numbers. "744"User is a 7 (read, write, and execute) permissions. Group and other are 4 (read) permissions only. but nowadays.. u can just select the (read, write, and execute) permissions from using a GUI (graphical user interface) ftp program.. such as wsftp pro/le etc..hope that helped somebody..

aKaFrEE Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 The following errors must be rectified before continuing!Please go back and try again! Could not write to 'conf_global.php'and if i use the permissions wizard i get the same thing...i cant figure it out :wail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwar Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 and if i use the permissions wizard i get the same thing...i cant figure it out :wail: [/quote:bdd19e3b86]Well you can't use UNIX chmod commands on a windows system, although for files that specifically NEED to be read - only, you can right click the file, go to properties and then select "read-only"That is mostly the all you can do.. The other files, you need to leave alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aKaFrEE Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 well im not worried about the files that need to be read only yet..i would fix that after i get this working..any ideas about how to get this thing the right permissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote:0c80088038]well, like i saidyou can't set CHMOD file settings in a windows machinethat is a UNIX specific feature...If you just install the files normally, im telling you, it will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Okay...you've got me curious here....Are you talking about you can't CHMOD when your webspace is set up on a Windows based server or you can't chmod from windows to any server? I do this through FlashFXP and it seems to work unless it is lying to me. But I think I know what you mean.Rick:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aKaFrEE Posted June 2, 2002 Author Share Posted June 2, 2002 i cant chmod because my webspace is on my windows based computer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
