Permission Levels

[fetus]

I've now set the permission levels as required in Step 3
and am running the Install Script as required in Step 4.

Directions indicate that permissions need to be set for
other files to 644, and at 777 for config-inc.php.

I did this, but get an error with the config-int file.
If I change chmod to 777 from 644 for this file as
well the install works fine.

So if both config-inc & config-int are @ 777 it works.

Is this OK to have config-int @ 777 ?

Thanks, Mike

The installation instructions state actually to set these files to 666 not 777

777 are for the data and uploads directories

I don't see that ---

http://www.photopost.com/installphp.html

Where is that?

This page mentions :

photopost
images (chmod 755)
uploads (chmod 777)
help (chmod 755)
data (chmod 777)
1 (chmod 777)
2 (chmod 777)
500 (chmod 777)
languages (chmod 755) (all subdirectories, too)
english (chmod 755)

"Be sure to FTP all .php and .sql files into the photopost directory. All permissions for .php and .sql files should be set to chmod 644."

"Step 1 will let your review and/or set your options in config-inc.php. Your config-inc.php MUST be writable by install for this step to succeed. If you get an error, it is because the server does not have write access to the file. Change permissions to 777 and run again."

Nothing here about seting to 666.

"Step 1 will let your review and/or set your options in config-inc.php. Your config-inc.php MUST be writable by install"

Technically writable is 666 all read all write

777 is all read all write all execute

I think the 777 there is a typo by Michael when he tried clarifying the instructions better for people about a month ago. The line above as I posted has always been there. I beleive he added this "Change permissions to 777 and run again" later as its the first I saw that part as I never actually read the reworded install docs yet.

OK Install now appears to work.

Thanks !
