Can not finish INSTALL

[Amnon]

My service provider and me have all others OK√ but here are write permissions on folders and subfolders/recursively which do not change on refresh so I can not get to NEXT:
Here are the problem ones:


# /img
# /mails
# /modules
# /translations

Attached is a PIC of the problem

ok, you can following this steps

1.- cut the forlders that are red (/mails/modules/ translations) and save them in another ubication

2.- Create new folders named exactly like the red forlders

3.- put the permissions of this new folders in 777

4.- copy and paste the contents of the old folders into the new ones

5.- try again to update.

I hope it can hel you

I'll check with my service provider, as this is on theirs server - before I try the 777 rewrite...

[Nancy Hiwatari]

ok you can do that, but the 777 is only while you are upgrading or installing the store , after that is better you change the permissionç

The server was able to FIX from theirs end, as I have no control from my desktop on these permissions.

777 permissions on folders and files is a website security risk,, Most hosting companies now use suPHP servers, thus 755 will allow PHP to read, write and execute scripts just like 777 does. Because of this, most scripts work when you use 755.

[Amnon]

Much much thanks, and you are correct, the problem was corrected by the service provider - as they want us to call when using theirs sql3 in my case for the database set for the shop as well as all the Permissions, and this is why I now have problem with loading attachments and pictures or logo - while it may be me who needs to know how to organize the backshop.

So in my case, I needed the help to do what I am not permitted to do by my service provider in the space I have on theirs webservice.

YES the original problem has been RESOLVED

[Nokall]

If your server use suPHP , you only need 755 for folders and 644 for files

so when you install other scripts must have attention to this because some scripts go to install folders in 777 , you must chmod all to 755 . it´s easy to see this problem when you install scripts , after when you run if give " internal server error " it´s because some folders are in chmod 777

I have the same problem with the same folders.

Get your SERVER to set permissions, assuming it is not a local private server you are using or testing.
Just a call should do it.

[what is your paaaaa]

Thanks.. I am trying it for last 12 hours and finally I got answer fome my web hosting.. and my sever is using suPHP..

How do I setup 755 for all folders recrusively and 644 for flies..
Do I need to each one.. can any one help me..



I added 755 for bellow folders
/config, /upload, /download, /tools/smarty/compile.




Then make sure the following folders have ‘write’ permissions and apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders):

Added 755 for bellow folders,
/img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations

and How can I add 644 for files.. 755 for inside ./img, /mails, etc.... do I need to add each file?



I am not able to get it through.. every time I am getting 500 error..
Do I need to add any .htaccess file in the root?

Can any one help me..

Thanks

Hi, just use a FTP client like SmartFTP to change permissions recursively...

[rossdavidh]

If you are at a command line (e.g. using putty ssh client, google "putty ssh" to find this package, but however you get to a command line is fine), then using the "-r" option should make the permissions change recursive. So for example

chmod 777 mydirectoryname

will change that directory's permissions, but

chmod -r 777 mydirectoryname

will do it recursively on all the subdirectories as well.
