Have you tried 777 permissions? It worked for me. But i'm not sure of the security implications as a result of a 777 permissions mode. Also, the ownerships for the Sugar subdirectories and files may be owned by apache or mysql, but I still have to verify that.

Yes I have tried 777, and still no luck

I might add that I am installing this on a shared web hosting
server, and I do not have ssh access ?
Dont know if this makes a difference!!

its loacted at http;//brightwavemedia.net/agents/

anymore suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks

At first I struggled with this and what worked was the 777, but it literally took me going through each file under the suggested directories to be changed .. even down to the single files in some of the directories. 777 seciruty s also a consideration like previously posted, but it works for our purposes for now. Will have to also consider that plugin imserv ...

Imserv,

did you do a "recursive" 777 operation on the Modules, Data and Cache sub-directories? ----> chmod -R 777 modules data cache. This way all the files and sub-directories will be changed to 777 mode w/o manually changing each and every sub-directory or file.

HI.
It actually was 777 and its working now,

problem is now I cannot assign a password to another user..
Any suggestions how to set this up

Hi

I've just tried doing:

chmod -R 0777 cache

but for each subdirectory it tries to change i get the error 'Operation not permitted'

I've checked the group ownership and that's fine, and I can change individual directories or files.

I'm using RHEL3 with apache.

Any ideas please?

I really don't want to have to go through and chmod every individual file!

If there was a text file listing all the files and folders in sugar we could use the following command:

for i in `sed -e 's/,.*$//g' < upgrade.lst`; do chmod 777 $i ; done

is this something sugar could consider for a future release?

It looks like your user doesn't have permission to chmod these files. Does the user you are executing this command under own the files you are changing? If you are just in the same group as the group ownership, you may not be able to chmod or chown the file.

Hi Clint

It will let me chmod individual files or directories, but not to do a recursive chmod on everything in a directory

so

Chmod 0777 cache

works, but

chmod -R 0777 cache

returns an error 'Operation not permitted'
