off topic...

This doesn't relate but it wasn't worth starting a new thread for. What does "CHMOD" mean? Just downloaded NewsPhp and got baffled by this bit in the readme :/

4) You will need to CHMOD these
important files to these modes.

nconf.php 666 or 777
news.txt 666 or 777
archive.txt 666 or 777
headlines.txt 666 or 777
maillist.txt 666 or 777
nphpd.dat 666 or 777

basicly, when you upload your scripts to the web using a FTP(cute is gud) there will be an option to chmod your files, by putting them numbers in, that file will have read/write turned on or off.
For your script to work and be secure u need to to chmod all those files with them numbers next to them !

hope that helps

CHMOD

chmod is a unix thing, access able through most ftp clients or directly from the shell

Basically it sets the permissions of folders and files for the owner, the group and public users. From the left number to the right.

An example:

"CHMOD 755" is one of the most common chmod commands for websites.
From left to right once again...
7 sets full 'read,write,execute' permissions for the OWNER
5 sets full 'read,execute' permissions for the GROUP
5 sets full 'read,execture' permissions for the PUBLIC

For creating your own chmod, add the number for each permission together to create the proper mode:

1 = execute permission
2 = write permission
4 = read permission

For files : execute means being able to run that file ( for shells mostly ). write means being able to edit, rename, and delete that file. read means being able to read it :)

For directorys : execute means being able to change into that dir. write means being able to move and rename the dir ( not sure about deleting if the directory is not empty), and read means being able to take a directory listing of that dir.


So for example, if you dont want anyone to read a file, do this

OWNER ( thats you ) = 1+2+4 = 7
GROUP ( depends ) = 0+0+0 = 0
PUBLIC ( for anyone, including web access ) = 0+0+0 = 0

CHMOD 700 filename

This is all probably more than you want to know, read below for what you actually asked for:)

Im assuming that you are not hosting the website yourself, perhaps its on barrysworld, in which case open up your favourite ftp client. You should beable to change the modes of files by rightclicking and looking for properties, CHMOD or modes.
Most clients now days have a easy to use modification of modes.


Hope this helps, if it doesn't start another thread so that I and others could try helping you more !

g'luck

Thanks for the help... unfortunately it seems my hosts (planetquake) lied when they said they support php... the files are formatted out as normal text. The bastards :mad:

I'll try and find someone else in the meantime... wish me luck.

theres nothing wrong with barrysworld hosting, in fact its excellent, although no easily accessable mysql, but thats understandable :)

portland.co.uk offer php & mysql ( so they say anyway ) and domain redirection too. I dont like their service, but you could give them ago.

the same for united NET who offer 15mb PHP & MySQL, although arn't taking on new members currently, so i havnt tried them yet.

php.net has a good free hosting directory, check it out

Just to clear out some outdated information:
  1. BarrysWorld now offers complete MySQL support fpr all subscribers which is just as easy to access and maintain as any other provider (N.B. phpMyAdmin is available at http://admin2.barrysworld.com).
  2. PlanetQuake, as with all GameSpy sites do support PHP, but only on their dynamic servers where your CGI bin is located. Login to the GS intranet for more details (N.B. The only server-side scripting language supported is ASP on their 'normal' servers)
  3. Not to bad mouth others, but I have unfortunately heard bad things about Portland.co.uk and Lycos hosting isn't up to BW standards, or so I have been led to believe.
    [/list=1]
    Hopefully that will correct some of the outdated information, and prevent people being confused if they happen to read this bumped topic :)

    Kind Regards
