Would somebody be able to login if I give details please?

the following directories setting needs to be 777
Cache: 777
Files:777
Store:777
Images/avatars/upload/:777
and its not 750 its 755 for all other directories.

That is highly dependent on your server (Apache, Litespeed, etc.) installation. My board runs as me, not "nobody" and therefore runs quite nicely with 770 permissions.

I would not be telling anyone 777 unless I knew what his installation looked like. He could be creating a security hole.

Well those are PhpBB3 requirements they dont make any security holes.

@bryntwr
Check that your includes/constants.php has the following in it:

Code: Select all

// phpbb_chmod() permissions
@define('CHMOD_ALL', 7);
@define('CHMOD_READ', 4);
@define('CHMOD_WRITE', 2);
@define('CHMOD_EXECUTE', 1);  

They should be right after:

Code: Select all

define('REFERER_VALIDATE_PATH', 2);  

Or Download this fresh copy of constants.php and overwrite your current file with this fresh copy.
Download
Clear your cache after you make these changes.
Hope this works for you bro!
