Anyone really knowlegable with Invision Power Board?

[PuppyforChrist]

Because I have a bit of a problem with my board.

I just started my new board. When I go into the Admin CP and try to change something, when I hit the button to submit the changes, I get this error:

Fatal Error: Change CHMOD to 0777

I looked all over the board for something called a CHMOD but I found nothing.

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

I'm no expert but...

CHMOD 0777 is the read/write permission control for a folder/directory on your web-server. CHMOD is a Unix/Linux command, and will be in the documentation for the server software.

When any program thats running on your server/web-host, for example a PHP script, which needs to write data into a file, then it must have permission to do so, its a security thing, and thats where CHMOD comes in. I think it means CHange MODe.

Depending on your web-host, you either are provided with a simple tool/interface to set these permissions or you have to do it manually. So, visit your host, login and see what tools they offer. They should certainly have a Helpfile or Tutorial on setting permissions, if not they may offer to do it for you if ask them.

Hope helps.

Ah okay. Yeah it is part of my website on webhostinggt.com. I have an SQL database as well for the forum. I'll look through the tutorials and Help section. Thanks!
