ChompGator Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hello Everyone, Yesterday, I started out wanting to set up a calendar on my website. Problem is there is virtually no calendars I can find to download > and > set up on my website that need CHMODing of a directory to 777. Thing is, I have a host that supports ASP/PHP/MS-SQL/MySQL and everything you could imagine > but its Windows hosting, not Linux, so my FTP wont allow 777 (so Im told) So I found a good tutorial on how to make calendars (by my own coding) but before I started > I wanted to ask does anyone know of any good calendars out there that I dont need to CHMOD anything to 777, or 646, etc... > Because apparently I can't do CHMODing > And I can just install the files, set up my database specs, etc.. and have it working? Let me know - thanks! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/101986-never-ending-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dptr1988 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 The best solution to your problem: Use linux! If you have a '/tmp' directory on your windows server, you could try to configure you calender software to use that. You could try setting the directory permissions with PHP's 'chmod()' command if you can't get your FTP client/server to do it.

ChompGator Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Well we pay nearly 650/Month for a semi-dedicated server that uses Windows Hosting. We pay the yearly fee in full - every year. So we cannot transfer the dedicated until the renewal date, which Im going to recommend to senior staff. However for now - the CHMODing wont work...But I appreciate the response, thank you for the help! I think Im just going to have to end up coding it myself, > I can see it being a headache already! Thanks again! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/101986-never-ending-problems/#findComment-521946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 http://www.xav.com/scripts/installer/3008.html may help you deal with your host in persuading them how to supply a service you're paying for and/or to blow off your Tech non-support. Surely for those prices you can get adequate tech support with detailed instructions or direction to the place in your server admin area where you can do-it-yourself.

discomatt Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 You don't have to CHMOD in windows... the permissions are set for you already. If you follow the instructions but ignore the CHMOD, everything should work fine.

ChompGator Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I try installing certain files and it says it wont install the `certain files` because the directory isnt CHMOD'ed. I try CHMODing the directory - and it says it has completed the CHMOD, but Im pretty sure it hasnt because when I continue installing the `certain files` it says the directory needs to be CHMOD'ed still.
