CHMOD Errors On Some Hosts

[doof92]

Hi,
On my host i'm using, the script installation comes to Step 7, where it tells you to CHMOD 5 files, and then it doesn't recognise that I've CHMOD the files correctly. i'm 100% sure they are correct, but I think the script doesn't pick this up.

Is there any way to bypass this, or will i not be able to use this script on my host?

thanks very much

Did you upload the files to the correct places? For example new_forum.php should be in the same place as common.php, and other phpBB files and folders. Also which files is it saying aren't CHMODed?

Thanks,
Derek

Everything is fine, all files are in correct place etc.
The error comes at:

CHMOD Files
/admin/admin_board.php: CHMOD 644
/includes/page_header.php: CHMOD 644
/includes/page_tail.php: CHMOD 644
/nbs/nbs_config.php: CHMOD 644
/common.php: CHMOD 644
Please CHMOD these files and then refresh this page to finish the install.

I CHMOD them correctly, press Refresh, and they still haven't change, and still says I must CHMOD these files.

Any ideas what;s wrong?

Thanks

when i installled it,i got the same page.i went straight to the admin right after.
the only problem i had was,not having the right ftp path set right.maybe that has something to do with the chmod error.

Same Error Here...

[moneyballs2]

i had this to overcome it i re put them to 777 and then back to 644. after that it worked for me

[weblord]

usually server accepts 666 or 777 but rarely 644.

I got the same but it didn't coused any errors everything works fine ecept that there was one file I needed to CHMOD different accorcing to the main admin cp.

[Derek]

Yeah, I'm not sure why that happens on only some hosts. It might be b/c the operating systems have different CHMOD values for writeable files or something, not sure...

[ForumZCLub]

Actually Just Refresh the page after following this procedure then close the window up

The Installation was done and you would get no errors at all.

[Circle]

Thats what I tryed to say. :nudge:

[ForumZCLub]

when You would get into the superadmin panel just dont edit file permissions written there That seems to be outdated/unupdated and might led to hacks.

[Circle]

You got the file permissions as they need to be then?

[Derek]

All of the .php files it says in the admin panel should be 644, not sure why I wrote 755 for some of them.

[lisss001]

Okay from experience with the amfr script I know what the cause of this problem is. The problem is that some web hosting companies are running a script to prevent you from running scripts such as this. Although I have forgotten the name...

[NightStorm]

phpSuExec, with Safe_Mode and disable_functions?
Or mod_security?
That's what I'm running under, and I get the chmod error... of course, I have root access, so if I knew where to look, I could probably fix it.

[Derek]

We (at NBS) are running mod_security and have no problems, so it must be phpSuExec or Safe Mode.
