On a page I am fucking around with I get this message:
Please CHMOD the "msg" folder to 666 (rw-rw-rw)!

My server stats says it is changed to 666. what is going on?

I am not an expert, but try deleting the folder and upload again .. then CHMOD it. Sometime it works.

if you do ls -al does it say drw-rw-rw- ?

Why the heck would it want the folder set to 666? Directories should normally be set to 755, or 711. It should be 777 for read/write/execute for everyone. This is technically bad for security, but very common for poorly written programs, or lax systems.

It might very well just be a bad error message. If this file is in the 'msg' folder, I'd first set the msg folder to 755, then chmod the file you are trying to edit. Again, a folder chmodded 666 makes absolutely no sense.

it is for a simple forum I am trying to install and play with. the way parts of it works, it may not suit my needs. The instructions I am following to the letter says the folder must be set to 666

doing a refresh sometimes helps in such situations - ore close serverconnection and do a new login

That's really bizarre. That all but breaks the whole ability to read files from the folder. You need the execute bit set for that on a directory.

try 755 and see ... If it works, then slowly remove permissions until it gives errors again....
