you can usually adjust chmod from the host's file manager or from ftp

Okay, once I access the cache from the FTP, how do I change the chmod value? I checked the box and went into file permissions. It showed "(Inherit permissions from parent directory".  Do I want to change that to "reset all children to inherit"?

Any thoughts on this?

"reset all children to inherit"?

Not necessarily, depends on what the parent is set at.

You should be able to enter a numerical value.

Which FTP client are you using or are you using the file manager in cPanel or a similar control panel ?

I'm using the FTP manager and control panel through GoDaddy.

PS: Okay, I called GoDaddy. They walked me through un-checking the "inherit" box and and getting things right. If the site loads correctly for the next 2 days, I'll mark this solved. Thanks for all your help, folks!

[tacticalguy]

I knew it was too easy. I'm still getting the same error message. Any other ideas? LOL.

[tacticalguy]

Okay, my issue is still unresolved. When I went to download a mod through the package manager, it said that it needed to be able to write to the directory and couldn't. It required that I enter my FTP username and password before it would download then, it downloaded it fine. I'm still trying to figure out how to fix this. Anything that I haven't tried, yet?

[Kindred]

what is the chmod permissions for the forum directories and files?
(hint, directories should be 755 minimum and files should be either 664 or 644, depending on configuration.)
Also, packages and packagaes/temp must be present and 755 or 777

[tacticalguy]

This is what my current settings are.

You are missing the temp directory under packages.

[tacticalguy]

So, how do I find that?

[Kindred]

you have to create it.

[tacticalguy]

you have to create it.

Okay, how do I go about that?

[Kindred]

ummm.... just go into the packages directory and create a new directory called temp

[tacticalguy]

ummm.... just go into the packages directory and create a new directory called temp

Okay, through the FTP file manager?

[Arantor]

Yup.

If you continue to get errors that a directory/folder or file is not writable, please be aware that 777 and 666 permissions are forbidden on some servers as a security risk ("world writable" directories or files). You may get a 500 (Internal Server) error, or you might just get "can't write". You always start with 755 and 644 (except 444 for Settings.php, to make it Read-Only once you're up and running). If you get complaints from SMF that it can't write to a directory or file, increase permissions to 775 (directories) or 664 (files). If you still get "can't write" complaints, as a last resort use 777 and 666.

They're all set to 777 and 666. When I try to change it through the FTP I get nowhere.

which suggests that your host has security/permissions screwed up and/or does not allow ftp to set permissions.

So use your cpanel file manager

I don't have a dedicated server. I'm just using my home PC. When I looked up cpanel for GoDaddy, that's what it told me that I needed, a dedicated server.
