Ok...I'm having this problem with all this php shit that I am not familiar with, really, but trying to learn as I go.

Everytime I install something..this time it's smf so I can bridge it with mambo..the files installed from the web admin is showing user "httpd" in my ftp panel instead of my own username..these also happen to be files that I have problems with permissions-they are supposed to be writable, and I have CHMOD'ed them to 777, but when I use the web admin I am getting "You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory is not writable!"

Like I said, I am pretty shaky on php in the first place, and I just don't understand enough about it to know what to do.

Anyone want to hold my hand and walk me through it, please?

did you chmod the directory to at least 755?

yes, the entire directory (and every file in it) in question is 777

Your CHMOD changed somehow obviously try 644?

mrkris · 07-22-2005, 10:27 PM

chase, ICQ me .. you shouldn't chmod 777 anyway, bad idea, you want to CHOWN the files as YOU:SERVER and chmod 775 the files
