file ownership problems

[johnmck]

Hi,
Seems everytime I install CMSMS I have file ownership permissions.
On my new webhost I've asked them to change the ownership of the files.

I still cannot overwrite a file in modules/NMS.
I've tried changing the permissions to modules and NMS directories, plus permissions on the file itself.
I can't change the permissions nor upload the file....

Please please please somebody help me. A detailed explaination of how to overcome this problem would help alot of people.

just so you know I'm using FileZilla.

I get the following error when trying to upload

Code: Select all

Command:	STOR action.unsubscribe_email.php
Response:	553 Can't open that file: Permission denied
Error:	Upload failed

get the following when trying to change permissions

Code: Select all

Command:	SITE CHMOD 666 /public_html/modules/NMS/NMS.module.php
Response:	550 Could not change perms on /public_html/modules/NMS/NMS.module.php: Operation not permitted

chances are you installed NMS via the modulemanager, thus need to remove the files via cmsms.

you host should be able to chown these files for you if you do not have the appropiate access.

hi Cubix,
thanks. I aint very good at this! Can I remove an individual file for NMS from admin?

Or do i need to uninstall the mod , change the file mask to something else like 000 or 018 and re-install it!

you can remove the whole module from the admin panel (not individual files)

sorry im not the most clued up on the whole permission thing either, im able to change the ownership of files from my hosts admin panel which solves any permission problems.

however there are many posts in this forum about file permissions, have a search around and see what you can find and hopefully in the meantime another helpful cms user will break it down for you.
