Thanks. All you need to do is change the file attributes on the files. Sometimes, using your ftp program you can right click on the file and go to properties.
bradybarrows Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 All you need to do is change the file attributes on the files. Sometimes, using your ftp program you can right click on the file and go to properties. I have Dreamweaver CS3 and checked the page properties and didn't find anything I could change. I realize that this seems simple to do, but I am having a problem understanding permissions. I found one thing, title/encoding that says the document is XHTML 1.0 transitional but that doesn't have any way to change the permissions. I am assuming you mean the file configure.php. I need some basic 101 with permissions. I don't have a clue what this means. I appreciate your help.
BryceJr Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 You can set file permissions through your web host's cpanel. File permissions -> http://www.linuxforums.org/security/file_permissions.html FTP screenshots -> http://www.stadtaus.com/en/tutorials/chmod...permissions.php

The stadtaus.com explanation was the ticket. Thanks so much. I really do appreciate the help.
