Please make sure the license file is uploaded in ASCII mode.

Hey Bryan,
I tried uploading that file in ascii mode it didn't make a difference. My original installation was done via the installer. Please advise thx

[Brian]

Can you open a support ticket and attach that file?

Hi

I have uploaded in Binary and ASCII according to the Installation: Zend instructions, then changed the various permissions, only to get write permission errors on the config.inc.php, calendar.php and license.php files.

I done a number of other uploads (the test worked fine by the way) in Binary and/or ASCII and tried 755 permissions, but am getting exactly the same errors.

Any ideas, thanks

With permissions, sometimes there's a mask applied that doesn't allow permissions of 646... so you might have to try 664 instead. At the most, try 666. (don't set permissions on .php files to anything with 7 as 7 means you give it execute permissions, a big no-no for security)

Oh-thanks!

However, now I am getting:

Warning: main(../languages/English.inc.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/home/0chroot/davidha/home/davidha/public_html/calendar/setup/index.php on line 55

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../languages/English.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear/') in /usr/home/0chroot/davidha/home/davidha/public_html/calendar/setup/index.php on line 55

Well... that means that your permissions for that file are set incorrectly. User, Group and Other should be able to Read the file... (644).

[Spot]

Nope. All permissions are set 646 at least...

Edit: Have tried all permissions from 646 to 755 and still get the Warning and Fatal error message (as above).

Interesting - I've been trying to install Guestblock as well on the same server and have had the same permissions problems.

So. I put it (Guestblock) on TextDrive and it worked first time, maybe I'll just try to put Calendar on this one as well - just to see if it is a server related problem.

For info: some installations require permissions to be set to 777 for installation.

[ve9gra]

7 should never be required to run PHP scripts. A 7 means that you give users the right to execute that specific file. Since PHP is an interpreted language, there is no executable code in the file. All you need is read access (4), and the right to launch PHP. At the very most, some files will need write access (6) given either to the group (x6x) or all (xx6).

The combos to try for the files that require write access are, 646, 664, and 666.

Well, I could not install using 755 (in this case installing Guestblock - off-topic I know) and after raising a ticket with my webhost, they advised 777 and it worked...
