CHMOD 777 in Windows XP

[Guest_imported]

Hello everybody:

I'm trying to setup an instance of 4images on my Windows XP, apache 2.0.40, php 4.2.3, imagemagick server.

There seems to be a problem with permissions...

I try to change permissions, but it doesn't do anything.

the permissions stay the same.

i need certain directories and all subdirectories to stay in 777 mod. How can i acomplish this?

I'm expecting to run any cgi's, but it might be needed to run a certain exe file over those directories.

Please help me

Thanks

Jose

Windows doesn't have permissions, at least not the same as UNIX does (0777 and the like).
And since you are on Windows, it shouldn't even be possible to have permission problems, as there are no permissions that can cause problems. How did you detect the permission problem? //Daniel

Daniel is correct in that Windows does not use or even need the chmod command. If you are sure it is a permissions problem then you do not have a directory container defined for the directory you are trying to access. If a directory isn't difined in httpd.conf, apache will not serve any pages or files in it. If you want everybody to have access to this directory, add the following directives to the container:

Order allow, deny
Allow from all

Good luck

You can change the CHMOD with a simple ftp-cliënt such as CuteFTP pro.

Good luck
