Still having troubles with permissions on web server

hi folks

whenever I try to save a new menu entry, it always sais "You don't have permission to access /include/inc_act/act_structure.php on this server.

unfortunately I can't set the file permission to 777. the web server I'm trying to run the site on does not allow CHMOD 777 (just for files) due to security issues, they say.

is there still any chance to run phpwcms even without setting all files to 777? I doubt it, but maybe you might have an idea I couldn't come up with.

thanx a lot

steven

well you dont need to set any file permission to 666....some folders need to be set to 777

and a hint:
if you need to set content/images to 777 you first need to chmode content to 777 and then images to 777 - not just the image folder to 777 (do you see the point?)

Try 776 then :)

It is still world writeable then so you should be able to edit it.
