File Permissions

[lisss001]

I am getting file permission problems all oer the place. First the script says that files are writable durig an install when the clearly are not and then I do an install. Once that is complete it halts at stage 7 and tells me to chmod the files back to 644 and even after this is done I have to manually go to step 8. When I log into the admin cp I see this message:

The following files need to be CHMODed to their appropriate permissions, in order to prevent any script problems, as well as security problems if there are files that shouldn't be writable.
/home/sites/t3xf.com/public_html/x2/admin/admin_board.php --> 755
/home/sites/t3xf.com/public_html/x2/includes/page_header.php --> 755
/home/sites/t3xf.com/public_html/x2/includes/page_tail.php --> 755
/home/sites/t3xf.com/public_html/x2/nbs/nbs_config.php --> 644
/home/sites/t3xf.com/public_html/x2/common.php --> 755

have you set-up the user for apache and the user for ftp correctly?
( distinct! )

Just ignore it, for some reason some hosts can't tell if files are writeable or not, I'm not sure why :/

i had a problem like it when i downloaded and decompressed the script server side
because he found that the user was the same as apache or similar and i had some problem with the permission


this could be the cause for most user?
( a bad setting for the usergroup for ftp/apache )

[Derek]

Yeah, it's probably not working because the files are probably owned by the username of the account and php is running as nobody.

Well I am now using the sebflipper script ust because I really could not get it to work. Also the amfr one is really buggy. I like this script the most but it just wont work.
