Hi, I've recently put up a bulletin board by following the instructions from a web magazine. Unfortunately it used the CHMOD unix command to set the permissions on then config.php file. It sets it from 777 to 666, i.e. from "Execute, Write, Read" permissions to "Write, Read" only.
I have therefore been trying to set the permissions through webhost4life's Control Panel. The problem is I can't figure out which user to choose from the "Current Permission Settings" e.g. NETWORK, INTERACTIVE, IUSR_DEDI396, etc.
At one point I blocked them all - setting them to read only - except 'Administrator' but when I checked the config.php file through my ftp program (CuteFTP 7 Pro), it still stated that the permissions were set at 777 ("Execute, Write, Read").
I'd appreciate any help as the sooner I can set the security properly the better. Many Thanks.
That's correct. It appears to me that permissions aren't being changed properly. What I mean is I posted a ticket in the helpdesk with my above question and they replied with:
You should give the "network service" read write permission. Also, make sure you don't deny any user permission on the other users. If you don't want the user to access your files, simply remove the user.
Well I changed "network services" to read write permissions but it's the same story.
