The file setup.conf.inc.php warning

Post by abilinski »

I cannot proceed with installation, atfer agreeing to GPL license next screen in setup gives me this warning:
The file setup.conf.inc.php in which all values are stored is NOT writable.

and then suggestion:

Please correct this problem before you can continue (connect to your account by FTP and permissions to chmod 777).

what I should do??? I don't know how to change the permissions. I have to add I work on a Mac and connect to FTP server with Transmit.

check:

http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/installation_en.phtml


set r/w permission to 666
rw-rw-rw

if problem persist set permissions to 777
rwxrwxrwx

after installation DELETE setup folder!!!


WITH TRANSMIT ( > v3.2.x):
ftp login to your server
select file

click 'file' --> information
OR
(apple key) Command i ---> ⌘i


set permissions as described...

With Transmit, you can remotely change the permissions of files and directories on a web server by doing the following:

Connect to the webhost's server with Transmit. Once connected, single-click a directory or file that you would like to set/change permisssions for.

Then, from the File menu, select Get Info. An information window will appear. In the "Permissions" section, there will be a table with "User:" (or "Owner:" in some earlier versions of Transmit), "Group:", and "World:" listed on the left. Check the appropriate boxes next to Read, Write, or Execute for each category, as indicated below:

The settings for permissions involve "correlating to" the 666 or 777 numbering scheme (if you do your homework, on the web! :-)

When you have set the permissions, close the information window. Click Yes or OK when asked if you want to update the file or directory with your changes.

thanks guys I managed to work it out.I just didn't realized that I can change permissions using get info option. Everything installed and runs perfectly but I have no idea how to use it :D Probably you will see me very often on this forum asking questions.

Hi All,
I have the same message to change the chmod to 777. I've changed it. But the message continues.

The server report marks as yellow:

register_globals On (should always be set Off)
safe_mode Off (check information about security risks)

Does this matters for this part of the setup regarding the even the chmod is already 777?

Best
