Permissions Problem?

Post by shaffly »

I just uploaded all the files for 1.4.1.

It doesn't say in the documentation what, if anything, needs permissions changed.

I'm getting this error:

Warning: mkdir(../attachments): Permission denied in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/faq/install/installer.php on line 183


Are there further permissions requirements or whatnot that must be done prior to running install.php?

Hi,

the script must have the right to write into the directories attachments, data, inc, pdf and xml.

I have this problem too and I'm not too familiar with how permissions work. What is the chmod command I should use to change these permissions correctly? And I want to use it on just those directories or the installer.php file as well?

Thanks.

Hi,

a chmod 766 on data/, inc/, attchement(, pdf/, and xml/ should do the right thing.
