RE: [Phpgedview-talk] Setting file permissions

[John F. <Joh...@by...>]

Hi Paul,
=20
I'm a total newbie with some *very* basic installation questions.  :-)
[John Finlay] We all start out as newbies as some point, welcome to the =
club ;)

1)  I received two files from you, one ending ".zip" and the other =
ending ".tar.gz" .  I unzipped the "phpGedView.2.65.4.zip" file into 317 =
files in 17 folders on my C: drive.  Do I also need to unpack/extract =
the .tar.gz file, or are those two archives (the .zip archive and the =
.tar.gz archive you sent me) alternative sources of the same files?
[John Finlay] The .zip and the .tar.gz files are the same thing.  ZIP =
files are more convenient for Windows users.  TAR.GZ is more convenient =
for linux users.  We provide both to make it easier for you depending on =
your platform.  So you can delete the tar.gz file.=20

 2)  I used FTP Explorer to create the necessary file structure on my =
site, and uploaded the files in each PGV directory on my C: drive to the =
parallel folders I had created on my site.  Was that the right thing to =
do?
[John Finlay] Yes, exactly right

 3)  Your "Long Installation" instructions then talk about setting the =
read and write permissions for various files and directories.  How do I =
do this?  Using FTP Explorer?
[John Finlay] I've never used FTP Explorer, but you can look through the =
program's online help for more information about permissions or chmod.  =
FTP Explorer appears to have a "Quote" command.  You should be able to =
use the quote option and type in "chmod 777 config.php" to set the =
permissions for the config.php file.  Then do it again for the index =
directory: chmod 777 index
