gbagley Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Hello, I was using my ftp program to change some permissions on a few image files and I accidently changed permissions on a bunch of files and folders. Is there a way I can fix this (Maybe with a reinstall) I really don't want to loose the work I have already done? I have no idea what the permissions were for the folders and files under catalog. Should I just start over? Thanks, G.B.
♥yesudo Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 download a spare copy of osc - and see what the permissions are on that and duplicate on your store. Your online success is Paramount.
gbagley Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 download a spare copy of osc - and see what the permissions are on that and duplicate on your store. I just unzipped the oscommerce-2.2ms2 to my C:\OS Full Program My FileZilla FTP program Shows the File Attributes on my Remote Site: Owner Permissions: Read, Write, Execute Group Permissions:Read , Write, Execute Public Permissions: Read, Write, Execute (I know I changed a bunch all at once on accident. However the File Attributes are NOT on my Local. For this reason I have no idea what folders need what permissions. G.B.

gbagley Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 is this on your localhost system, which is not live out to the world? are you having problems accessing things? I messed up the permissions on my live new website. I was wondering what is the best way to get all the permissions from /catalog down back to factory defaults so to speak. G.B.
Guest Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 again i ask is this on your localhost or is this on a *nix box?
gbagley Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 again i ask is this on your localhost or is this on a *nix box? my problem is not on my local home pc. It's on my ISP server. You should know I can change the permissions and have access. I just don't know what to change them too. I don't know what a *nix box is so I don't think I have one. G.B.
