Hi,
I'm very new to this so it's probably me being stupid but...
I've made my MqSQL database and I've uploaded all my files to my PHP and MySQL-compatible host.
And I've moved the config file and changed it to 666.
Now, when i try to go to mysite.com/eFiction35/install/install.php all I get is:
"A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again."
I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. But it won't even run the install! Any help?
Thank you!
It looks like you might not have the file or the folder it's in CHMODed properly. You'll find these helpful:

Thank you.
I've gone round and round the instructions on the wiki over and over.
It didn't work when i changed nothing but the config CHMOD
Now I'm trying to change the install.php CHMOD [to 666, 777...] - still the same message.
Can anyone tell me what settings it should be on?
I think the install folder should be at 755 and files inside at 644.
oh!
I don't know what I did but I have a new screen now!
There's still error messages at the top, but at least I'm into the install!
Thank you! *hugs*
EDIT: hmmmn.. I've run the install - now I have the same permissions error when I try to login! grrr. *pokes at it*
I'm terribly sorry to be annoying, but could some lovely person please check and tell me what the CHMOD numbers should be for the 'user.php' file, 'user' directory and the 'login.php' file inside it?
Thank you!
Mine are 755.
thanks! I think we can safely say that all of my permissions are messed up somehow - but at least I know vaguely what's wrong!
Seems like your host might have some security thing going on, maybe. I've never had problems with permissions. Generally speaking, everything is either 755 or 644. Usually folders are 755 and files are 644.
How did you upload the files? You should use an FTP program, and if you did, you probably need to use another one.
I uploaded the zipped file to the host, then unzipped it there with their nifty unzipping thing.
It's not the end of the world. I'm still having to adjust the CHMOD for the odd page that escaped me first time round, but as long as I know how to solve the problem, it's okay!

Sometimes the files don't always go through properly in a File Manager especially if they are larger than the allowed size by PHP (usually 2MB). I would suggest what Carissa said and use a FTP Program, personally I reccomend FileZilla.
Just wanted to check up on this, are you still having problems Seventh?
hi!
Once i'd adjusted the CHMODs it all pretty much worked fine!
thank you for all your help!
