Gosh darn unusual stuff happening to me again

Post by cronos42 »

I have just uploaded the EM stuff to my site. Currently the install script is at

http://www.heartfield-central.com/forum ... nstall.php

which you can see if you go to

http://www.heartfield-central.com/forum ... s/easymod/

However when I go to

http://www.heartfield-central.com/forum ... nstall.php

I get the start screen of my forum, minus any CSS style effects!
I have no idea what's up. Can someone plz help me? Tried it in IE and Firefox, while logged in as admin. All EM files and directories have CHMOD 755.

Oh yeah...the EM 0.3.x read_me mentioned that I needed to install to admin/, but all subsequent mentions of the dir are admin/mods. Perhaps that should be fixed.

CHMOD all the EM directories to:

Code: Select all

755
CHMOD all the EM files to:

Code: Select all

644
Then try again.

That made it work!

I think the Install read_me should be modified a little insofar that you should CMHOD all dirs to 755 but not the files.

I do have one question: Could you explain why this worked the way you explained?

Well the way you have the file permissions, EM could not access them (due to the permissions not allowing it)
So by correcting the permissions, EM could therefore view the files, and then the problem is solved.
It's a little hard to explain.
