Finetune: Insufficient directory permissions

Author Message

Hello :)
my first post here ^_^
I'm installing Ezpublish in a domain hosted on Linux.
The finetune reports:

 Insufficient directory permissions
cd /path/etc etc/httpdocs/ezpublish
chmod -R a+rwx settings
chmod -R a+rwx settings/siteaccess/admin

I checked those directory via FTP and they both have chmod 777...
what else should I do?
Or maybe I misunderstood the problem...

Hello,
you should change to the directory where ezpublish is installed and set the permissions with following string:

chmod -Rf 777 settings

and

chmod -Rf 777 /settings/siteaccess/admin

The problem you got is probably that the subdirectories have the wrong permissions.

With the string above you set the permissions also to the subdirectories.

Have a nice weekend

sorry...I don't understand.
what does "-Rf" mean?

"settings", "/settings/siteaccess/" and "/settings/siteaccess/admin" are already 777...

what else have I to do?

you said: <i>The problem you got is probably that the subdirectories have the wrong permissions.</i>

Which subdirectories?

Please help :(
Thanks a lot!

I forgot to say that I don't know how to insert strings in my FTP client (Filezilla).
Well, I tried from the second voice of "server" menu but it didn't work (my menu is in italian, that's why I referred to it as "the second voice").

I'm still trying.
I think that the server where I'm installing ez publish doesn't support command lines. May it be? In fact, I've tried to insert command line in another domain via FTP and it works.

Hi,
you need to set the permissions of the files and subdirectories of the directories
settings
design
var
to "777" (everyone can read, write, execute).
When you can't access the command line via shell (SSH or Telnet), you must try to set those permissions with your FTP client. I don't know any "FTP commands" (too lazy, i use FTP clients), so maybe you are right, that your provides does not let you use this "chmod" FTP command recursivly.
If this is true, that you can set the permissions for all files and subdirectories one by one (will take ages) or find an FTP client, that can do this for you.
I don't know which, but i saw at least one client, that can do this for you.
You might try SmartFTP, LeechFTP, Windows Commander or -if your "client" is on linux- use Midnight commander.
I'm sure, that at least one if this will let you do the recursion on the client side. This will take a lot of time, too, as the command will be sent for each file one by one... but at least the FTP client will do all this for you ;)
