Discussion & Troubleshooting / Need help with setting the permission and uploading pictures

« on: April 15, 2005, 04:00:09 PM »

Hi Everyone! I hope anyone can hellp me, I've been trying to fix this for days now    and thought to ask help here

I've installed everything and skinned ever page everything works, I've even  registered a user and tested it, so everything works, except I'm not sure if I've set the permissions right (this part of the installation.txt page)

5. Set permissions for the following directories:

     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/database
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/media
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/thumbnails
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/tmp_media
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : data/tmp_thumbnails
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : templates
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : templates/default
     chmod 777 (drwxrwxrwx) : templates/default/media

     Set permissions for the following files:

     chmod 666 (-rw-rw-rw-) : all files in the directory "templates/default"
     chmod 666 (-rw-rw-rw-) : all files in the directory "templates/default/media"

     You can do this with FTP programs such as CuteFTP or WS_FTP.

Now I don't have those FTP programs.  I use Total Commander to upload the files through FTP, and I've set the permissions (I think I did) by going to Files/Change Attributes and set the above mentioned files to 777 and 666 as stated it should be.

Now I'm not sure if thats right, I'm not sure what these permissions are.  If it is the following settings:

Owner
Read
Write
Execute

Group
Read
Write
Execute

World (Other)
Read
Write
Execute

Then I think I did it right.

Now my second problem is.  That I can't upload images.  After I've filled in the upload page and clicked on submit, it takes me to the members.php page and then nothing happens, no errors, and no picture, just a blank page....

I hope anyone can help me fix this...

Take Care
