Now when I navigate to the CMS page for our site on the new server I am receiving the following message: /usr/bin/php Warning: main(/common/classes_object.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cust1/user1378111/html/administration/index.phtml on line 5 Warning: main(): Failed opening '/common/classes_object.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/cust1/user1378111/html/administration/index.phtml on line 5 Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: color in /home/cust1/user1378111/html/administration/index.phtml on line 7 Any ideas?

So, for lack of knowing better, I would need to go through each file and know which ones are written to and which ones weren't and set the permissions accordingly. There are a few hundred files I'd need to go through. Would setting them all to 777 make the site vulnerable?

Kind of gives you an idea of what I'm dealing with...a deprecated website! So are you saying that all the .phtml files should be 777 and not 755? There are a few .php files mixed in there for good measure, should those be 777 as well, if so? Thanks for all your help frost110! I'm taking a PHP/MySQL class next week to try and help wrap my head around everything.

Sorry for all the trouble. It still does not work and the error log shows: [Fri Mar 16 13:44:39 2007] [error] [client 64.2.33.90] Premature end of script headers: /home/cust2/usr2083/html/podcast/index.phtml failed to open log file fopen: Permission denied The permissions for both are set to 755.

Need a little more help with the include. :-\ To me it looks like I'm doing everything right but the page doesn't render and the error in the logs says something like "Premature end of script". So here is one of the original files that I want to use the include in called index.phtml: #!/usr/local/bin/php <?php // get template $title = "SJMA PodCast"; $content = "podcast_body.phtml"; require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/common/template.phtml"); ?> <div id="mainNavGraphics"> <img border="0" alt="Girl with iPod" src="/images/navigation/navGraphics/podcast.jpg"/> </div> I want "/usr/local/bin/php" in an include file so I create one called "path.php" uploaded to a folder called "includes"with this in it: /usr/local/bin/php And change the original file to this: <? include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/includes/path.php"); ?> <?php // get template $title = "SJMA PodCast"; $content = "podcast_body.phtml"; require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/common/template.phtml"); ?> <div id="mainNavGraphics"> <img border="0" alt="Girl with iPod" src="/images/navigation/navGraphics/podcast.jpg"/> </div> Does all this look alright? I'm testing it on the original site not the new one I am uploading to because I want to make sure it works before I change all the other ones on a new host. Any help is most appreciated! cmalexander

Thanks both of you. The include file is a great idea. It bothers me that the designers of the site did not do that in the first place. Bummer about the permissions. Much appreciation, cmalexander

Thanks for your help frost110. So is there any way to download the files and retain their permissions when reuploaded? Also, do I need to change the path at the top of every page? Unfortunately there are quite a few. There is no way to make a redirect file of some kind is there? cmalexander

Hello, I need a little help with migrating our website to a new server. At the top of a lot of our PHP pages there is a path: #!/usr/local/bin/php. The new server says the path to PHP is /usr/bin/php. Do I need to change this at the top of all the pages? Does it matter that the #! is not at the beginning for the new server? Also, when I download all the files to my desktop and upload them to the new server all the permissions are changed to 777. I've tried both Cyberduck and Transmit without success. Is there anyway to preserve the permission structure. I am using FTP, not SFTP. Is it safe to say that most php permissions should be 755 and any other files like .htaccess or .htpsswd should be 644? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, cmalexander
