CHMOD?

You can use google to know more about CHMOD.

To change permisions use a FTP client, normaly "right click" on the file and "properties".

Chmod - What is it?
Chmod stands for Change Mode and is a command usually needed for installing CGI scripts on a UNIX server. Basically it tells the server what the file or folder permissions are, ie. can the script read the info, or can it write information as well.

What do the Chmod Settings Mean?
Chmod tells the server the access privileges for a file. For example, common file settings are:

777: all can read / write / execute the file.
755: owner can do all, group / others can read / execute.
644: owner can read / write, group / others can read only.

Common Chmod Settings
cgi scripts: 755
data files: 666
configuration files not updated by the script: 644
directories: 777

Chmod Calculator
Many FTP programs give you something that looks like this to set chmod permissions.
This may help you try it out first and find out if you really are setting the right permissions.



more info try Google

Oh i kinda get it now thank you :)

im trying to do it but it comes up with "500 'SITE CHMOD 777 config.php': command not understood"

Hope you can help Oliver

What server are you on? If the server is running windows then there is no such thing as chmod...

You should probably get a new FTP client, then. WS_FTP is a good one. CuteFTP will work also

cheers for all the help it was windows i have managed to get the website up and running but only thing is it has an error at the bottom which says "Error in my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn't exit"
Thanks Oliver

I think this is pretty well covered on page 6 of the handbook.

May I also guess your running your own server with IIS instead of apache? I guess it should work, but if your kinda new to all this I'd suggest trying out apache..

But to the questions: Are you hosting this yourself? If so, what versions of mysql/php do you have? And is it apache or iis or something else?
