Hi, I have downloaded an Directory script from the folowing website: http://www.esyndicat.com/docs/install.html But how do I run an installation Directory script at the server? The INSTALLATION MANUAL explain to do the folowing after uploading the script to the web-server: 6. Permission Adjustments For the installation script to run successfully you need to set some file permissions. By setting permissions you actually tell the server to allow the script make some actions with some files. To start changing permissions do the following: * Connect to the server with either FTP or SSH client program. * Go to the directory where you uploaded the script. * Run the command below to make backup directory writable: chmod 777 backup But where do I write (or where do I find) this command? Thanks.
The chmod function can be performed from your control panel or from your FTP program. With the WS_FTP program the quick way chmod is right click on the mouse. This opens a popup where you can select the setting you need. I have never used Cute but have a hunch it is similar. Also note it remembers the last chmod you did each session. So don't assume the next file is correct just because that is what is displayed. I learned that one the hard way. Then if this install script is like most you just point to it in your browser to run. yourdomain/install.php If it is in a subdirectory you need to include that and note that I left the .com out of the above to avoid creating a link to nowhere.
