Running a CHMOD on a local file

DevilDog#1 · #1 01-06-2006, 08:39 PM

I'm running EasyPHP PHP/APACHE/MySQL server. Can't figure out how to run CHMOD on a file in "www" folder. Any ideas? I've tried the FTP. It won't run it coz it's not connectedt to a server as such.

DUH! How come that didn't hit me! LOL!

PHP Code:


			
<?php

chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0755);  // octal; correct value of mode

?>

Windows? CHMODing doesnt work on Windows

CHMOD needs to be done otherwise, use the sharing tab. Its not really CHMOD, but it almost comes to the same thing.

woops for some reason i thought the apache sorta turned the machine into "linux" when showing the PHP. Duh me lol.

Nope, but you can chance windows permissions that resemble chmodding, but in a windows type format, real crappy that is. Nah just kidding but Windows was never made to be as secure as Linux, they took userbility before security which they probebly did right

Just right click and chose preferences of the file to change permissions on windows.

windows XP and most of the windows weren't meant to act as a servers

i think that's why they chose userability

Exactly

DANG! I guess I should finally go and get that hosting huh?

JonM · #11 01-08-2006, 12:54 PM

yeah. actually devil dog, if you want I'll host ya for free. 5 gigs of bandwidth, 500 mb of space. Then when your either done building your website, or you are getting enough hits, you can buy hosting

just pm me desired domain (i.e. thing.wghq.net) and of course your desired username and password if you want hosting.

Thanks Elite.

I'm playing with EasyPHP. I'll let you know when I really ready. Haven't had time to really play with code for a week or so.

Ok tell me what am I don't wrong in SMARTFTP

1. Selected the folder I want to run CHMOD

2. Right click and Custom Commands->Misc.->CHMOD

3. SET CHMOD %a[777] %a[uploads]

Is step 3 correct??

never used smartftp, but you are on linux right?
