Help with Unix code?

Hi everybody,


I downloaded a program to run a forum for my own web page.


But, for me to installed, I have to:





1. Set the permissions for simpleforum.cgi to 755. This means read/write/execute for the owner, and read/execute for group %26amp; everyone. (chmod 755 simpleforum.cgi)





2. Set the permissions for simpleforum_files to 777. This means read/write/execute for owner, group and everyone. This directory should be located in the same directory as simpleforum.cgi.





Would you guys give me a hint about the code? I am willing to learn. Or is there any Unix expert who is willing to help me please.





Thank you

This is nothing to do with code. Do you have a unix machine? If so use man chmod and man chown to see how these work. They are not to be played with lightly as you can stop the machine easily working as root with these.
Reply:Also, for the directory, make sure you use chmod 777 -R directoryname, so they can use the files.


(It might be -R 777, I'm not on my Linux box and can't check it)
Reply:you have the code "chmod 755 filename"





these codes are required for LINUX based servers. if you are on windows then just change the permissions so everyone can read and edit. the files.
