CHMOD 775 on server - GoFuckYourself.com

Emma · 06-07-2008, 08:32 AM

I can't setup permissions 775 for WP wp-content dir. got msg "Permission denied.Access denied."

how to set it up?

directfiesta · 06-07-2008, 08:34 AM

What do you mean " you can't " ?

You do not know how or the server doesn't let you do it.

Virtual or dedicated ( if ded, use ssh ).

I've tried to set 775 on FTP but got msg "Permission denied.Access denied".
Virtual

Try 777 ( as a test only, because this is not safe at all ) to see if you can. If not, then it probably means that the server is running suExec or PHPsue and your own permissions are not set properly ( you do not own the files, root does ).

Contact your host so that they chown them to you.

SayWhut · 06-07-2008, 08:41 AM

Its because PHP is the user assigned to the folder.

You need to do it via the file manager on your server's control panel.

You won't be able to do it via FTP.

try 777 should work, what hosting company?

YOU cannot do anything yourself, the host has to CHange OWNership.

LOL keep ignoring me =)

mikesouth · 06-07-2008, 09:45 AM

simple you have to be the files owner you arent open a shell and do the following.

ls -l <filename> or ls -ld <dirname> will list the permissions and ownership of the file. login or su to the file owner to change the mode

qw12er · 06-07-2008, 09:56 AM

google "chown" ... should solve your problem.

mike-al · 06-07-2008, 12:40 PM

man "umask"

darksoul · 06-07-2008, 01:00 PM

the most likely reason is that they deny chmod through ftp (comes default with proftpd, and I assume other ftp daemons).
You have three options. You can use ssh to change it, ask the host to allow chmod through ftp, or ask them to chmod them themselfs

payd2purv · 06-07-2008, 01:01 PM

I suggest you don't waste time and go straight to contacting your host or reading their FAQ.

Adultnet · 06-07-2008, 01:24 PM

contact host and they will resolve this.

TheSenator · 06-07-2008, 01:28 PM

chmod 777 /wp-content/*.*

That should work....You can even to it in FTP

BV · 06-07-2008, 03:56 PM

what's this FTP thing you all are talking about?

brandonstills · 06-07-2008, 05:28 PM

setup = noun
set up = verb

Are you doing this from PHP or from an SSH account? Maybe the account doesn't have the correct permissions. PHP by default runs as nobody and has very limited permissions. Also, do look up lstat. I had an issue where I couldn't chmod even though I had root.

Too funny... everyone trying to help you out and your submitting a ticket anyways

Just ask your hosting company... they probably fucked up some setting, and that's why it doesn't work...
