My write permissions dont work

[orangedude]

Hi there i am installing prestashop on a fedora server
everything has gone fine untill i got to step 2 of the grapgical gui
at you can see by my attachment every single file needs its write permissions fixing

i have tried everything i followed the guide for the recursive and non recurcive permissions
and went through and changed them all via winscp

this didnt work so i went through and did them all again via chmod and this also didnt work
i then started trawlling forums on which i have found many solutions including using different permissions
none of which have worked

i am now at a loss as to what to do and any help would be greatly appreciated

Many kind regards

Orangedude

Is anyone out there that can help me im really stuck

dude(!),

When I installed it, I just left the write permissions. I know in the instructions it says set them as chmod 755 but this often doesn't work on old servers - and maybe not on yours either - so just set them as 755.

If you're using dreamweaver, it should be set automatically. If not, then try using your FTP software to sort the problem out. Firezilla is also a pretty decent one...and its FREE! Just use that to upload your files then, once they're all up on your server right click the files and set them as 755 (could be 745, i can't remember so just try one or the other and see which one works!) 755 is more secure and it worked like a charm for me.

Good luck, I'm waiting for a reply to my post, I don't think anyone's here! I can't upload products!

Best regards,

Stuffy

Yeah i have tried this and many other permission types including
complete access on the whole www dir

it still wont work and i cant figure why

i already have filezilla but prefer winscp as it give more featurs and access

thanks for your reply but unfortunatly it has no effect

many thanks orangedude
