PLEASE HELP TO CHANGE PERMISION FILE CONFIGURATIOS

Post by gorgorito »

Hi there, I have a bit of a problem. I downloaded a program to create a links page on my site. but when i try to run it , it says this

Could not create or append to rl_DATApending.php . Your system needs to be able to read and write to files in this directory

In the documentation says that this may happend:

/* Depdending on your ISP's PHP configuration, the following four files may need */
// to have write permissions set for everyone.
/* mode(0766) rwxrw-rw set for RL system to function. See documentation */
$szLinkIncFile="rl_DATAapproved.php";
$szPendingLinks="rl_DATApending.php";
$szBlockedSites="rl_DATAblocked.php";
$szAppHis="rl_DATAhistory.php";

/*********** Back-end and system FILE NAMES ***********************/
// do NOT change these variables unless you also rename the distribution files as well.
$rl_approve="rl_approve.php";
$rl_askOthers="rl_askOther.php";
$rl_display="rl_display.php";
$rl_process="rl_process.php";
$rl_remove="rl_remove.php";
$rl_request="rl_request.php";
$rl_spider="rl_spider.php";
$rl_SetVars="rl_SetVars.php";



/****** FILE PERMISSION NOTES **********************************************************/
/* Read this section if Ask and Receive has problems writing to files after it is installed */
/**********************************************************************************************/
/* Depending on how your web server is set up (whether or not your php scripts can run the chmod() function) */
/* you may need to change the permissions on four data files (listed above) to allow */
/* them to have write permission: rwxrw-rw- */
/* If you want to be able to modify this file (rl_DATAvars.php) through the Admininstration utility, you may */
/* also need to change this file's access permissions. */
/* With most ftp clients, this is very simple, and you will need to set the file permissions to: */
/* Read Write Execute Read Write -- Read Write -- rwxrw-rw- chmod(0766) */


Can anybody help me to change this configurations, I don't know how to use php language and i'm lost.

I wrote to the support department and told me this:

the instructions explain. use ftp to chmod.

If anybody can help me , PLEASE IS URGENT

support told you right

chmod controls file permissions and all ftp and linux/unix have them on, have a look at your FTP software

and if you need an ftp client that can do this quite well, is free & open source then get filezilla http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/
