Mickel Scofield	Monday 19 March 2007 3:57:59 am Hello every body, i have uploaded the folder of Exponential (version 3.9.1) to a remote apache server (apache2), then after the upload, i have passed to the configure step, and i have these problems : I note that i have not permissions to access the file php.ini ( all what a have is a ftp account to the server). 1. Insufficient directory permissions Insufficient directory permissions Exponential cannot write to some important directories, without this the setup cannot finish and parts of Exponential will fail. The affected directories are: design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage Shell commands These shell commands will give proper permission to the webserver. cd /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/dev.laboez.lnet.fr/ezpublish_3_9_1 chmod -R ug+rwx design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage chown -R nobody: design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage Alternative shell commands If you don't have permissions to change the ownership you can try these commands. cd /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/dev.laboez.lnet.fr/ezpublish_3_9_1 chmod -R a+rwx design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage ... my question is how to sove this. thanks in advance.

Check and see if your ftp client can change permissions recursively. The hardest solution is to use ssh if you have linux sever as ssh youromain.com Then run commands yourself. I don't think you need an access to php.ini for this issue.

Hello every body,
i have uploaded the folder of Exponential (version 3.9.1) to a remote apache server (apache2), then after the upload, i have passed to the configure step, and i have these problems :

I note that i have not permissions to access the file php.ini ( all what a have is a ftp account to the server).


1. Insufficient directory permissions
Insufficient directory permissions

Exponential cannot write to some important directories, without this the setup cannot finish and parts of Exponential will fail.
The affected directories are: design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage
Shell commands

These shell commands will give proper permission to the webserver.

cd /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/dev.laboez.lnet.fr/ezpublish_3_9_1
chmod -R ug+rwx design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage
chown -R nobody: design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage

Alternative shell commands

If you don't have permissions to change the ownership you can try these commands.

cd /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/dev.laboez.lnet.fr/ezpublish_3_9_1
chmod -R a+rwx design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage

...

my question is how to sove this.

thanks in advance.

All what it says that certain files need to have certain permissions.

chmod -R ug+rwx design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage

chown -R nobody: design extension settings settings/override settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin var var/cache var/storage

May be the easiest solution is to send the above commands to your administrator and ask him/her to help you executing them right on the server.

Check and see if your ftp client can change permissions recursively.

The hardest solution is to use ssh if you have linux sever as

ssh youromain.com

Then run commands yourself.
