This is my first php project, and my first webserver. I'm using 2.65b5 due to the security warning. When installing I just tried to follow the directions given by readme.txt. When it said that write permissions had to be given for authenticate.php, config.php, and ./index, I simply changed the owner to my local user account and did chmod 664 for the three files in questions. After finishing the configuration page, I was asked to set up an Administrator account. I filled this information in, and when I submitted it, I got errors talking about permission denied for specific files. I then went in and gave write permissions to all for the files mentioned, and tried to reload the page. More errors popped up, and I just gave write permission for the entire folder. This didn't work. I ended up removing phpGedView from the computer, restarting, and starting again. Unfortunately, I can't even get back to square one now; I continually get the same error message now. I guess this means there's some stored data somewhere else than the phpgedview folder.
The error message I can't get rid of:
Warning: stat failed for themes/standard/theme.php (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /var/www/html/phpGedView/config_gedcom.php on line 122
Fatal error: Failed opening required 'themes/standard/theme.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/html/phpGedView/config_gedcom.php on line 125
Any help would be appreciated; I'm at a complete loss.

Hello Bill,
The error message is saying that it cannot open the file theme.php in the folder themes/standard. This folder is located in the PGV base folder. Can you please check if the file /var/www/html/phpGedView/themes/standard/theme.php is present?
If you want to start all over again you can do the following:
Please check the config.php file at the bottom it will say: $CONFIGURED = true; Please change true to false. This will cause PGV to go back to its initial start page.
Please let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Roland

I can add that it might be a good idea to chmod the files authenticate.php and config.php plus the index folder to 777 for the first setup - you can always change it afterwards.
In addition to setting $CONFIGURED = false; in the config.php file, it may be a good idea to replace authenticate.php with a fresh copy or to ensure that its content are:

Thanks for the help. I'm no longer getting that error.
