Need help with setting the permission and uploading pictures

[Natashja Singleton]

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

[Natashja Singleton]

Hi! I have version 1.7.1 (thats what it says on the admin panel.

I don't know what kind of server it is, since I bought webspace from Bravenet, I took the package that allows PHP scripts, ect...

Hi Natashja,

please upload a file named phpinfo.php with this content

<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>

to your webspace and post the link here - this info may help for diagnostics.

[Natashja Singleton]

Can this be because of the register_globals???  the server I'm using have the register_globals set to off

[ManniC]

Ups, i don't see anything when following your link to phpinfo.php

Are you sure that it contains the code i posted above?

Do you see anything?

[Natashja Singleton]

I've added the info:

Code: [Select]

<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>
exactly like that and save it as phpinfo.php

And no I don't see anything eighter 

[ManniC]

hmmmh - mysterious. You shout see something like this (my own phpinfo)

You should contact your hoster - there might something be wrong with your PHP-configuration.

[Natashja Singleton]

Can that be why the  script isn't working right?

[ManniC]

Yes -- there's only one basic PHP-command in this script, that will have to work!

[Natashja Singleton]

I truly appreciate you helping me   I've wrote to my webprovider and waiting for an answer, I've asked them to check my PHP-configuration... Hopefully they will/can answer me.

[Natashja Singleton]

Here is the answer I got from Bravenet:

Dear Natashja Singleton,

The phpinfo() information is disabled for security reasons. If you need to know about a certain setting or feature, please let me know what it is and I'll check to see if it's available.

Regarding the uploading issues- please make sure you're using the correct server path for your file uploads. You may have to get the document root first and append your folder name- for example: $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/uploads"

Also, make sure you've changed the uploads folder permissions to make it writable through your PHP scripts.

Regards
