Help.  I'm having a nasty problem uploading the files to upgrade to 1.3.1 .  For some reason, useing FTP to upload all of the files, they are coming out 666, directories are fine 755, but everything else is 666.  I tried uploading the .zip file and extracting it on the server.  Same issue.  Any thoughts to cure my insanity.   Maybe I need a new FTP client.  If so can any one suggest anything for OSX 10.3 ? other than rb browser?  God I miss ZOC, and occasionally windows.. errr.

I don't use a mac, so I don't know for sure, but isn't your ftp capable of CHMODing the files to something else after you uploaded?

It turns out not to be a mac thing.  Its strange, On a PC now, I uploaded the .ziip file and extracted on the server.  The directories were all 777 and files were all 666.  If this is the situation.  What should all of the files be? Yes.  FTP has chmod capabilities, I'm just not sure what to set everything to, and I figured if there was another way around it, that would be less time.

Why won't somone port ZOC, wsftp, and cute FTP for MAC.  Sometimes those OSX GUI's get annoying.

You can always unpack the archive on your local machine and then upload.  That would probably solve the permission issues.
Do not send me a private message unless I ask for one.  Make your post public so everyone can benefit.

coppermine needs write permissions on the albums folder at everytime and on the include folder during install. All other files should have read and execute permissions. Depending slightly on your server settings what to set, but you should be on the save side if you CHMOD all files that don't need write access to 555.

Thanks. I'll work on this tonight.  In addition I tried unpacking before uploading, and that had an issue too.  Back to a pc at work so wsftp was a bit easier to use..  Plus T1's are nice.

GauGau,

Thanks for the permissions advice.  Its installed and working.  Wsftp was much nicer than the mac crap I'm using now.  I'm still experiencing some thing strange with that..  Not getting exactly what I want.  When you download your zip archives of coppermine, should the files have the correct permissions information imbedded? Or does everyone have to change them?

You guys have done a bang-up excellent job.  Another happy user.

zip archives don't hold permissions at all, only tar balls can do that. If you unpack a zip archive, you will have to set permissions in any case.

I figured that had to be the case.  Thanks.
