Setting Permissions For PHP runningCGI Not Working

hi,

In the detailed dolphin instructions it states:

2. If PHP is running as CGI on Unix systems all folders should have 755 permissions and all files should have 644 permissions, except for the ffmpeg.exe file, which should have 755 permissions.

To do this quickly, you can run the following commands when you're in the Dolphin installation folder under your SSH account:

find ./ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find ./ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
chmod 755 flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe;

But those commands don't work.

PLUS... I had to change the cache and publlc_cache folders to 777 for them to be writable.

I did run the commands from the dolphin public_html folder but they don't seem to work/make the folders 755 etc...

 even changing the 755 to 777 didn't work.

But applying the permissions instructed on the same page in the USING SHELL CLIENT section

works but only on a few of the folders I believe due to being out of date with the latest 7.3.2 version.

Any ideas to set the permissions for CGI would be helpful. Much appreciated.

Ok so after the CGI methods above didnt work I chmoded the files/folder using the detailed installation paes permissions commands then added the below to set permissions for the rest.

They needed to be 777 and not 755 even though my vps is php cgi setup.

chmod 777 ./media/moxie/files ./media/moxie/storage ./modules/boonex/avatar/data/images/ ./modules/boonex/avatar/data/tmp/ ./modules/boonex/desktop/file ./modules/boonex/files/data/files ./modules/boonex/forum/classes ./modules/boonex/forum/conf ./modules/boonex/forum/layout ./modules/boonex/forum/log ./modules/boonex/forum/js ./modules/boonex/forum/cachejs ./modules/boonex/forum/data/attachments ./modules/boonex/photos/data/files ./modules/boonex/profile_customize/data/images ./modules/boonex/profiler/log ./modules/boonex/sites/data/images/thumbs ./modules/boonex/smtpmailer/data/logs/
