Changing permissions

[Guest]

Hi, ive got to the stage where most people seem to get stuck (from looking through and searching!!) where it says:

The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set.

 

Please perform the following actions:

cd /freeola/users/weblinks/www.**.co.uk/catalog/includes/

touch configure.php

chmod 706 configure.php

cd /freeola/users/weblinks/www.**.co.uk/catalog/admin/includes/

touch configure.php

chmod 706 configure.php

 

 

I cannot seem to find an option to change the permissions using my ftp program so i tried the following code:

 

<?php

chmod('includes/configure.php', 0706);

?>

 

However i get the following error

 

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /freeola/users/5/6/sr********/htdocs/catalog/change.php on line 2

 

 

Anyone got any ideas what else i can try or why its bringing up this error?

 

Cheers

Did you try right clicking in your FTP program? On mine I right click and select "properties". This is where I see and change the permissions.

[Guest]

yes i tried that but couldnt find it. Im using terrapin ftp.

 

What are you using?

 

Anyone know of any better programs that i can download a trial of?

I use Leapftp. Its small and simple but works good.

 

it has the option to just right click and chose chmod
