which directory to CHMOD? (linux webserver @ home)

[nadir]

Hi

my forums are powered by my little linux box here that I'm using as a webserver. I'm trying to install the MOD... I don't have an FTP server running on there.

here are the settings I have chosen:

Reading: server
Writing: server
Moving: copy

this is what is displayed on the left:

File Access Info
read access :: OK
write access :: failed
root path write :: failed
chmod access :: unattempted
unlink access :: unattempted
mkdir access :: unattempted
tmp path write :: OK
FTP extension :: OK
copy access :: failed



When I hit "submit" I get this error:
Testing selected write method
ACCESS ERROR: phpBB does not have permission to write to the EasyMOD directory.
Write stuff about checking permissions and how to.



Am I using the wrong settings or should I have to CHMOD some directories? Also, which chmod command would I have to use (666?). Thanks for the help! this mod is too cool.

okay after some searching... I ended up CHMODing the easymod directory to 777. I got this extended debug message:

phpBB version: 2.0.6
Working Dir: /var/www/html/forums/admin/mods/easymod
Install Step: 3
Mode:

Warning

Could not open [language/lang_german/lang_admin.php] for reading.

Permissions: (including system errors)
read access :: OK
write access :: OK
root path write :: failed
chmod access :: OK
unlink access :: OK
mkdir access :: OK
tmp path write :: OK

Recommendations:
write: server
move: automated FTP

Selected settings:
write: server
move: exec
ftp dir:

Have the file mentioned on your disk ? (language/lang_german/lang_admin.php)

And is English installed? English is a requirement for EasyMOD, at least for now.
