Martijn Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Windows already makes files fully read/writable by default I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer-Pro Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Windows already makes files fully read/writable by default I thinkI read that you have to have XP Pro. Then I got XP Pro and followed the instructions but the web app still says CHMOD site.dat to 777.So what do I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomizer Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) I read that you have to have XP Pro. Then I got XP Pro and followed the instructions but the web app still says CHMOD site.dat to 777.have to have XP Pro for Apache? if you mean you have to have Pro verses Home, then you may be right, but you certainly don't have to have windows anything to run Apache. it was first developed for Unix or Linux (one of those).you'll find the answer to your question on the Apache website (i've found it there myself a while back). sorry, don't have a link. somewhere there's a conversion table for *nix / windows permissions.or try googling:"security permissions" convert windows unix Edited January 18, 2006 by atomizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopyaedoff Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 If you right click on the file or folder in windows and uncheck "Read-Only" (if checked) that should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Yeah, windows normally does make all files fully read/writable - for users logged on with admin privileges.So unless you're logging in with a limited-user account to run apache, you dont even need to bother about the chmod equivalents. And also, if you're running apache as a service, then it runs under the "system" privileges & therefore needs no special permissions to get full read/write over all files.
