permissions

[Jo2009]

I was just wondering if some one could do a script for me so it sets every file, subfolders to 777?

Thanks
Jo

What os?

I'm on mac.
I'm trying to install PrestaShop but have to have the folders set at 777, so to do it all myself is going to take a long time as there lots of stuff to change.

Can't you just run "chmod -R 777 parentDir"

That will recursively mod everything inside that directory to 777.

Or if you only want directories and not files:
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; That will mod every directory recursively from the directory you execute it in.

If you're on a mac, just open a terminal and run CHMOD recursively on the directory as described above

Prestashop you say, interesting piece of software. Be careful if you need to buy any module for it. Especially if its a media module.

Will do, but I don't think ill be useing this as it don't seem like it wants to work.

I've tried a lot of diffrent Free shopping carts now and they all have not worked. So I think I'm just going to have to buy a £100 one.

I'm confused on how to do that code, and I'm not sure if it's what I need. I need every single file/folder to have 777.

Command: SITE CHMOD chmod -R 777 prestashop prestashop
Response: 550 Could not change perms on -R 777 prestashop prestashop: No such file or directory

if prestashop is your top level directory, you're running the commmand twice by the looks of it.

CHMOD chmod -R 777 prestashop prestashop

sould be

chmod -R 777 prestashop

and that will set every directory and every file to 777 inside prestashop.

What do you mean it doesn't work? I think you are doing something wrong. Are you using MAMP?

Good point, also if this is shopping cart software then it is certainly not wise to 777 everything

Thanks for help all. I have now done it right and it set them all to 777.
@tntcoder, There's only about 3 that don't need to be set to 777 and all the others do. So doing it this way makes it more quick then the ones I don't need as 777 I can change. (y)
