ladytheo2000 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I belong to a private discussion group for doll collectors which was started by a man for his wife. Husband/wife divorced and wife got the computer group. She and he have no contact with each other. Now this problem has come up and we're all baffled. She keeps getting a message telling her something like thsi (in her words)---- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- apparently the php blah blah thingy is no longer up to date, I have attempted to update this but with this kind of instruction; "Change the permissions on the following directories to be writable by all (777 or-rwxrwxrwx within your FTP Client): store/, cache/, files/ and images/avatars/upload/." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone have a clue as to what we could do to fix the problem? Calling the ex-husband is not an option. We know we're going to have to go to a different way of communicating but this board has been so great and we sure hate to give it up. The board owner is in England and it costs her @$100 per year for the site. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/100735-php-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

discomatt Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 It's pretty straight forward. You have to CHMOD the directories as specified or the script cannot modify files in those directories.

ladytheo2000 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm flying blind here. I'll have to contact her and get the code. In the meantime could you tell me where I could get some basic info on PHP? I've never heard of it before and would like to learn. I used to know how to program computers many years ago, but those were main frames back in the dark ages. I don't understand any of her paragraph. Maybe this is too much for me to ask about. Please forgive an ignorant but not stupid person. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/100735-php-update/#findComment-515238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
