To avoid trouble with permissions, i recommend to completely recursive  chmod 777 everything from your boards root down

margarett

No, that's actually a terrible idea...

1 - Some hosts will throw an error 500 if 777 is detected
2 - By doing that you increase your chances of being hacked, as you are granting write permissions to "the world" (not that they should be able to get to you but, if they do, you are exposed).

Afterwards back to 755/644 of course.

find ./ -type d -execdir chmod 755 {} \;
find ./ -type f -execdir chmod 644 {} \;

plasmatic,

As margarett says --   777 is a TERRIBLE idea and should be avoided. period.
(and the commands that you suggest only works if the user has root access -- which most users will not have.)


1- files should never be 777 - files should be 644 ----   664 if that still gives errors  ---  666 if, and only if, needed to install mods - changed back to 644 ASAP
2- directories should be 755 ----   775 if that still gives errors  ---  777if, and only if, needed to install mods - changed back to 755 ASAP

if you need 666/777 access to run your board on a normal basis, then it is time to find a new host.




the instructioins that I pointed Nodaz to should allow him to update his board and there is no need for 777 in 90% of the cases.
