DiklaLa Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 on the installation instructions i've found in this site....this is one of the steps.. " 4. Make sure that the permissions on all of the folders are set to 755, and if that does not work then set them to 777. Make sure that the includes/configure.php file and the admin/includes/configure.php file are set to 777 for the duration of the install. Once the install is complete reset to 644, 444, or 400 depending on your server setup." what exactly should i do? what i've tried to do was - right click this file and at the security tab enable the write option? what does these numbers means - 77 644 444 ?? thanx for the help...
kgt Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 The numbers are linux file permissions. Do a google search to find out what they mean. Basically, the first one is read/write/execute (r/w/x) permissions for the owner of the file, the second number is r/w/x permissions for the owner's user group, and the third is r/w/x permissions for everyone. Right clicking the file in an FTP program is one way to change these. Some FTP programs will ask you to just enter the octal string (the three numbers). Others provide checkboxes to toggle r/w/x permisisons for the three levels. The exact permissions you need will depend on how the webserver is set up. There's no absolute correct answer. 777 is r/w/x for owner, group, and everyone 644 is r/w for owner, only r for group and everyone 444 is only r for owner, group, and everyone Contributions Discount Coupon Codes Donations
