What do you mean by that? beyond the actual script not working are you saying that it can cause other problems?
LOL I play with chmod every day.. It is a necessary to play with chmod to run many scripts. Is really not that big of deal if you only set the files and/or folders the script needs.. Also on many newer updated servers 666 or 755 on files and 755 on folders will usually work instead of 777 and gives more protection that way. Some servers, depending on server settings will require the full out no restricted 777 on those if the script does call for it? Boulder
means you are leaving your files to be read,written and executes..this will be useful in much applications...
If you are trying to play with small scripts with CHOMD changing internal files chmod. Then it wont cause you much. Don't Play means dont play with Scripts Dolphin , Vbulletin and much more!
Yes I was pretty sure that's what you were saying... LOL I just thought is was cool (or funny) how you said it and way it fit with the thread context. Have fun, Boulder
chmod777 means to set permissions of read, write and execute. Installing most of the script require giving permissions so that your script works fine. Dont play around with it, just try to read the instructions. If you are using cPanel, just click on the folder(s) and on top, there is an option to set permission. Change it to 777.
If your script is telling you to CHMOD, then CHMOD. If 777 doesn't work on your server try setting it to 755. Also I would recommend using CuteFTP @ http://globalscape.com you can download the evaluation version free until you decide to purchase it or dl a crack. Don't be afraid to CHMOD the file, it's only to allow members to interact on that program. Tagboard, Newspro, alot of older .cgi relies on CHMOD. What exactly is the file if you don't mind me asking?
Sometimes scripts require 777 to install, and then they say after the install to set them back to 755 or something else. If it says chmod to 777 for the install, that's what you need to do. If your script isn't working, that could be why. You can check the error log through your cpanel. I've run accross some issues where the error log says"file is writeable by group" and had to change it accordingly. Is the script from Prozilla?
but i have a question releated to this if we want to delete the uploaded files then what we do for that.
