can't see set up page

Hi Bruno,

Yea, I bet it's the "chmod thingie", assuming that your SPIP installation is running on a UNIX/Linux box and not a Windows server.

CHMOD is a Unix command for setting read, write, and execute permissions for files and folders. It's pretty basic. At this point, you might want to find a book on UNIX, or ask a friend knowledgable in UNIX to help you work through this.

Here's an online tutorial on how to use CHMOD:

hi,

the change in ecrire/inc_version.php3 didn't help.. i
removed the whole spip folder from my server, ftp'd it
again.. and *tata* the first spip-appeared
:slight_smile:

but.. then i get this message..

The following directories do not have write
permission:
CACHE
IMG
ecrire
ecrire/data.

i looked in the user's guide for a way to change these
permissions, but didn't find it.. (suppose it's a
chmod thingy?) anyone knows where to find this or how
to set these permissions correctly?

btw, if i want to install spip on the root folder of
my site, won't this mess with the directory structure?
i mean, aren't the files linked to 'SPIP-v1-6' as root
directory? (now i just uploaded the whole spip folder,
but i don't want people to have to type
/SPIP-v1-6//index.php to reach the index of my site..)

thanks for any help,
/bruno

Hi,

You seem to have a strange configuration. You can
try to edit the file
ecrire/inc_version.php3 and replace the line saying:
$auto_compress = true;
with
$auto_compress = false;

It may help...

Regards

Antoine.
