#chown -R linuxusername.linuxusername /var/www/html/sugardirectoryname

You want to change the ownership, don't bother messing with permissions, UNLESS for some reason the files are open to the world [with write permissions for example] when they should not be.

No matter what the permissions are, so long as the same user [as your webserver daemon] owns them, the webserver will have all access and permissions neccessary.

You should go google up some sites containing guides/manuals/tutorials of linux cli commands and their usage.

And if you don't know what username your webserver runs under...
Just go list the files in a directory or two of which is under your webserver root;
what you're really looking for is files of which were created/written by the webserver.
It usually stands out like a sore thumb, as most if not all of the files will be owned by the same person. For illustration purposes, I cur and pasted an example below.

Also, you might take a look at the new module I'm releasing [and posting here on the forum in the Downloads section.]

The hosting is virtual hosting,
my only access is through ftp connect and not through ssh
my ftp version is 220 ProFTPD 1.3.0 Server (Main FTP Server) [192.114.71.150]
How do i change permission to folder (and sub folders and files) to www.mysite.co.il/modules

You will need an FTP client that can recursively set file permissions. I suggest SmartFTP or the new FileZilla 3.0.

See this Wiki article for more details.

the file permission went good after installing filezilla 3 beta, thanks
I set the database in my hosting account.
and then went to step 3 in the installation.
when i wrote the hostname i get error message.
Error 2005 unknown MYSQL server host.

Are you sure you set the MySQL server host value properly? The default value in the Sugar Installer is "localhost", but many hosting providers have the MySQL database on a different machine.

For instance on my account at OLM.net, the web server is on one machine and the database is on another machine. I had to go into the OLM.net control panel and look at the MySQL database manager to get the name of the database server.
