Help with setting permissions

[chipper_001]

Please I'm having trouble with setting my permissions, it says here,

http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ck_Install


    you'll need to use 777 permissions on directories that need to be writable, and 666 on files that need to be. The reason for this is, while you (your user) may own the directories and files, another user (the web server) needs to be able to write in/to them.

    CHMOD these directories to 777:

        * tmp
        * tmp/templates_c
        * tmp/cache
        * uploads
        * uploads/images
        * modules




....directories should be set to 777 and files needs to be set to 666 but what files need to be changed?
is it all the files within the directories above??


Thanks

The only file that needs to be set to writable is the config.php file, and that is only necessary during installs and upgrades.

Really, but why does it tell you to change the other directories and files?

No it says "you'll need to use 777 permissions on directories that need to be writable, and 666 on files that need to be."...

Gives the Reason why you need this...

And then it list the folders that need 777...

Then it goes on to CHMOD?!? and says some more things about it, and in step 5 it tells you to make and set config.php to 666...

No where does it say "You must set some other files/folders to 777/666"...
