Configure.php to 777

[johnkolk]

I'm new to this so I hope this is the right place to ask?

I'm stuck right at the start, I have uploaded all the files via dreamweaver ftp and now cant change the permission on the Configure.php to 777. I change them but it is not excepted? I even downloaded smartftp and tried but it didn't understand the the command 'CHMOD 777 configure.php'. which I was told by the host company to try?

Any help would be great.

Thanks John

If you're Windows based, you can ftp via Explorer using this format - ftp://userid@ftp_domain.com then right click on configure.php, select properties and check all the permissions boxes. This is mode 777.

 

Hope that helps!

Create a new text file on your desktop and rename it to chmod.php (ignore the warning about changing the file type). Put this code inside the file.

 

<?php

chmod ("includes/configure.php", 0777);

?>

 

Upload it to the root of your website via FTP, and then type http://www.yourdomain.com/chmod.php into your rbowser. You won't see anything on the screen but the file permission will have been changed.

 

Do the same for the 'admin' folder.

 

 

When you've done the install edit the file to read 0644, upload it to the root and do the same again.
