PHP Help - CHMOD 0777
Reply
Posted 2005-08-08, 04:13 AM
I'm trying to install IPB v2.0.4 online. When I go to the install page I get the following erros that need to be addressed before I can continue:

Warning! The following errors must be rectified before continuing!

·Cannot write to the file '../conf_global.php'. Please CHMOD to 0777.

·Cannot write to the file '../skin_cache/'. Please CHMOD to 0777.


I haven't the faintest idea how to do this. The only thing I know is that changing it to 0777 lets other things read and write to it...I think.

I don't know.

Can anyone help?

You need an FTP client like flashfxp, log into your account go into Public_Html and find those directories and files, right click and set the chmod to 777 on them.

Righto.

So screw Frontpage and get a proper FTP client instead.

Can you recommend any good free ones?

I Use FileZilla. Free shareware with no limits and shit. Once you connect to your site, you can just right click a file/directory choose file attributes then type 777 for the numeric value.

FileZilla it is then.

Thanks guys!

Edit: 
Well, I've got past that first screen and have begun the installation...before getting stuck on the second screen...I need to get my:
  • Your SQL database name
  • Your SQL username
  • Your SQL password
  • Your SQL host address (usually localhost)
from my webhost. Oh joy...

Having absolutely no understanding of PHP etc. I was wondering what on earth SQL is. I've deduced it's something to do with Databases that collect information on things...erm, help?

He's been banned?! That was...unexpected...

Edit: 
This is just great. They're pissing around with me now. I send them an e-mail a couple of days ago saying their script for ads did not work, they sent me the same script saying put it on your site, it'll be fine. I put it on my site, and today I get an e-mail: "you have removed our text ads!, please ads it ASAP or let us close this account." Nothing about the SQL database. If they don't become competent soon, then screw them. Anyone know a good free web package with FTP access, PHP and 1 database? Lots of storage etc., and possibly no ads (though I can live with a few).

Sorry for the double post...but I'm confused again...

I've changed webhost to a much better one, and have made my SQL database, entered all the correct details on the install page, pressed next and...

Quote:
Warning!

The following errors must be rectified before continuing!
Please go back and try again!

Connection error:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I'm sorry to say that I think I need help...again...

Its a common mistake, your sql info is entered wrong. Did you assign the user to the database that you created? also you might have to use the full database name sometimes it has like an underscore _. It should be in the readme/faq if you read it.

I created the database. Entered in the details correctly (with the underscore as well), yet it doesn't want to work for me. No matter what I do it still comes up with that error.

I think I might have to contact this webhost as well...
