File Permissions - Something Simple?

[BlueLaw]

I'm sure I'm missing something very simple when it comes to setting the correct file permissions.

I've been trying to follow the installation guide, which firstly shows me an image of the files I should have downloaded and unzipped, which I have done and they match the image correctly.

But then it tells me I need to change the following file permissions:

1) DIR phpwcms_tmp/thumb_list 777
2) DIR phpwcms_tmp/thumb_preview 777
3) DIR phpwcms_ftp 777
4) DIR phpwcms_filestorage/1...10 777
5) DIR content/images 777

6) FILE setup/setup.conf.inc.php 666
6) FILE include/inc_conf/conf.indexpage.inc.php 666
7) FILE phpwcms_template/inc_css/frontend.css 666
FILE phpwcms_template/inc_default/startup.html 666

But these files are not included in what I've downloaded and uploaded onto my site space. How can I change the file permissions if the file doesn't exist?

I'm sure the solution is painfully obvious, but what is it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi BlueLaw,
one question: what did you download? Welcome btw
The newest 130 release?

Yes, I'm fairly certain I'm all up to date. I must be reading what to do incorrectly

Here are the files I've downloaded and then extracted and then uploaded to my site:

_.htaccess
template
upload
verify.php
picture
rss.php
setup
sitemap.php
filebrowser.php
fileinfo.php
GPL.html
GPL.txt
image_resized.php
image_zoom.php
img
changelog.txt
config
content
dbdown.php
download.php
feeds.php
filearchive
include
index.php
LICENSE.txt
login.php
phpwcms.php
phpwcms_code_snippets

But then I'm told to adjust the permissions on the following files:

1) DIR phpwcms_tmp/thumb_list 777
2) DIR phpwcms_tmp/thumb_preview 777
3) DIR phpwcms_ftp 777
4) DIR phpwcms_filestorage/1...10 777
5) DIR content/images 777

6) FILE setup/setup.conf.inc.php 666
6) FILE include/inc_conf/conf.indexpage.inc.php 666
7) FILE phpwcms_template/inc_css/frontend.css 666
8 FILE phpwcms_template/inc_default/startup.html 666


well as you can see, I don't have those files or folders.

Am I a fool? A fool for Love?

look in your ftp client for something called CHMOD, you can set your permissions there

Thanks for your swift response, still not sorted it though. Look at this with me:

Firstly I have downloaded a version called "20070306_phpwcms130"

Which presumably is the most current version.

Then I look to the new link you've just given me to the latest install guide and it says the fist file I need to adjust is a folder called "phpwcms_ftp"

Well I've done a search for that folder within "20070306_phpwcms130", and it's not there.

Could this be something to do with me being on a Mac? I doubt it, but still....

Thanks again guys!

no matter,

see my above post... sub names changed.. so the new ones are in there ... as f.e. phpwcms_ftp is now upload ...

[BlueLaw]

Hey, thanks a lot!

I've managed to get through all the install steps now, and there's a lot of green "OK's" going on and luckily no red.

I am now faced with new issues and challenges though.

I'll start a new thread and hope you guys are as good on that one as you have been on this.

Cheers!
