Script Garage
begginers help with php scripts?
I downloaded a php scripts thing called phpbb which apparently is like a whole website, you just need to upload it to a host that supports php and other stuff like that. I have some knowledge with html and computer understanding, i am doing an IT course at college. Can someone help me with this please. Change the permissions on config.php to be writable by all (666 or -rw-rw-rw- within your FTP Client) Change the permissions on the following directories to be writable by all (777 or -rwxrwxrwx within your FTP Client): store/, cache/, files/ and images/avatars/upload/. Using your web browser visit the location you placed phpBB3 with the addition of install/index.php or pointing directly to install/, e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/phpBB3/install/, http://www.mydomain.com/forum/install/ etc. Click the INSTALL tab, follow the steps and fill out all the requested information. Change the permissions on config.php to be writable only by yourself (644 or -rw-r--r-- within your FTP client)

- Permissions are exactly that, they allow access to certain files. If your FTP client supports it you can change the permissions through it's gui or if you have command line access you would use the chmod command. The other option would be if your Web Host has a file manager in the control panel, often times you can change the permissions that way too. Hope that helps!
