Wrong permissions throughout bNC bundle????

Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2003 2:12 pm

Just unpacked the betaNC 6.5 bundle and found I have loads or errors until I realised EVERY single file was chmod to 600. After a lot of annoyance I have chmod most to 644 and am slowly getting bits to work. Was this intentional or has there been a problem at my end?
I uploaded the gzipped tarball to my space and extracted it via telnet ( tar xvfz etc).

Not fun I can tell you!!

Hi Badger, I'm going to write a shell script to fix this. It'll set all the right perms. Smile

Well as an update to this problem, I retried the installation. I ungzipped then untarred the install, but some files still had wrong permissions. I managed to updated the entire bundle via CVS which seems to have corrected that problem, but any of the modules that have the google tap rewrite rules don't seem to work "straight out of the box". Is there anything else I have to change to get this feature to work, as It is a main reason for me going for this bundle.
I know that my server will allow mod rewrite as the menalto gallery I have uses that feature.

Good call on the shell scripts ZX. That will help out no end!!

Another little "bug" I couldn't change any of the prefrences unless I deleted the contents of the footer boxes (that old nuke 6.0 problem!) I know that there was a proper work around for this but I have forgotten it.

Any ideas guys??

Can you throw up analyzer? Also, ensure your .htaccess exists in the betaNC folder.

sorry to be a pest, but my site has been down for 2 days, and I'd really like to get the google tap working. It's a great piece of NC engineering!!

Send me an email to zx@nukecops.com with details to log into your server and ability to modify files. Give me authorization to do so.

erm, I'm on a shared server. I only have access to my account, no root access. Is that ok?? I have shell access, ftp and sql.

That's fine, so long as I have access to your shell and the files.

whew..I though I'd done something wrong when nothing worked. Right now I'm manually going through most all of the folders changing all of the permissions Shocked

Is there any command I can just use to recursively change all the file permissions? Or alternatively, can I just re-download the package and reinstall?

looking around the internet I found this post:
http://www.egr.msu.edu/archives/public/linux-user/2000-November/002690.html

it essentially recommends using these two commands to change all the files below a starting point:

find / -type d -exec chmod 0755 {};
find / -type f -exec chmod 0644 {};

on mine I have to do

find /path/to/NCbeta -type d -exec chmod 0755 {}\;
find /path/to/NCbeta -type f -exec chmod 0644 {}\;

or at least that's what I have to do to get it to run without complaining. I don't think it actually changed any of the permissions.

Any smart people know if there's something wrong with the above?

Hey ZX,

I just got a reply from my web hosts who reckon that AllowOverride is already set to all, and in any case they NEVER change httpd.conf settings on a users request. (I've already asked them to upgrade php and mysql!! but to no avail)

Any more ideas to get the google tap working??

On the subject of the file permissions, I found that downloafding the whole package from the CVS worked fine. The permissions were all set right.

yeah..it's too much trouble messing with changing the permissions when i can just get the latest version from cvs
