File Permissions

[Stephan]

Is it not possible to have the installation either set the proper file permissions for all files as part of the install process, or a small batch file we can run ???

Or can the install tar ball contain the files with the right permissions ?

Perhaps they already do and my host is just masking them in my shell when I extract ?

hello stephan

i know that oliver was worked on this feature! but don't know what happens with this. also if you have no server only webspace you can have problems with the rights! i had this as i run a mysql backup script, wich creates also the backup folder. after the script creates the folder i was not able to delete or edit the folder and the included files!

i had one day an scr file to set the chmods for the phpwcms installation but it only works right if wcms was installed in the root!

I am fortunate to have shell access and can run the following bash script -after- unzipping the .tar.gz and ~before~ running setup to install or update on my linux host:

chmodphpwcms.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
cd /
find /path/to/phpwcms/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find /path/to/phpwcms/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Thanks alot, I own my own hosting company so I have access to the shell ) That script will come in handy

If anyone needs hosting for phpwcms with the fantastico autoinstaller and an ssh shell let me know

Its a Dell PE2650 2x2.4 Xeon HT 5x73GB Raid 5 box... at Washington, D.C.'s Equinix Datacenter...
