permission reversal problem

Hi All

I have been trying to install dolphin 7 I am using ftp to chmod my permissions everything goes smoothly until the permission reversal

I have tried 755 and 644 and still it says writable please help as I can't go any further

any ideas

Try 555.  Works for me.

chmod 555 only allows Read and Execute for User, Group, and Others.  Since it seems permissions are now viewed from with in the server instead of out (if that makes sense) you need to disallow all writing for every entity.  555 takes care of that.

Hope this helps!

thanks for the reply still no go

Humm.....  I've also known this to be a server side issue where permissions could not be recognized by Dolphin's script.....  Just can't remember what it was.  However,  if FTP says it is 555, you should be able to "Skip" the permissions reversal step and you will be just fine.

That worked thankyou so much, I was getting so frustrated I can go to bed now and play again tomorrow

warm regards

For the record, some FTP programs do not like assigning permissions out-of-the-norm. For example, Filezilla seems to like pretending that it sets the folder to 555, but lies to you and keeps it at 755. The best way when doing something like this is by using your web server's local file manager, such as the one provided by CPanel.

^ That is true.  Thanks for bringing that up.  I've forgotten, but had that problem in the past as well.  Fun Fun!!
