Hi,I've got ez publish 3.2 installation running on a windows server, but I'm doing a second installtion to see if ez 3.4 will fix a problem I'm having. I'm doing a manual install, and during the system check I get an insufficient permissions error:
1. Insufficient directory permissions eZ publish cannot write to some important directories, without this the setup cannot finish and parts of eZ publish will fail. It's recommended that you fix this by running the commands below. Shell commands cd C:\test\ezpublish-3.4.1 chmod -R a+rwx settings chmod -R a+rwx settings/override chmod -R a+rwx var chmod -R a+rwx var/log chmod -R a+rwx var/storage chmod -R a+rwx var/cache chmod -R a+rwx var/cache/codepages chmod -R a+rwx var/cache/ini chmod -R a+rwx settings/siteaccess chmod -R a+rwx settings/siteaccess/admin chmod -R a+rwx design If you know the user and group of the webserver it's recommended to use a different set of permissions. To do this you need to change all the chmod commands.
with *nix this is simple enough to fix, but I've tried giving full control level permissions to every user on my server, and I can't get past this point. <b> Which user should I be giving permissions to and what level? </b> I know which directories need write-ability.
Thanks! Ben
