[SOLVED] CHMOD 777

[Northern Flame]

I am trying to install something on my friends website,

but he has shared hosting with nichebotdomains.com

(same thing as godaddy).

In order to install this, certain files need to be set

to CHMOD 777, but due to the host,

we cannot edit this. We contacted them and they told

us to create a php.ini file with mod_rewrite enabled,

they told us to do this, but not how to do it....

If I were to unzip the files on my website,

change the CHMOD to 777 on the required files,

compress them again, and unzip them on my friends website,

will the files still be on CHMOD 777?

 

Or, is their another way to change the CHMOD?

Or....

can it be done by doing this:

$myFileName = "file.php";
$myFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($myFileHandle);

 

????

chmod.

 

What does mod_rewrite have to do with anything?

EXACTLY! LOL

THATS WHAT I SAID TOO!

but those guys at support will say anything to you, trust me, i've dealt with the niche bot domains support plenty of times, and each time I call they say something else lol.

Thats why Im trying to find another way to do this....
