CMS claiming server rights

[christophl]

Hi,

it seems to me that Bigace takes ownership in all files within the installation folder and renames the owner to httpd. Subsequently it provides its own permission-policy, regardless whatever I did before.

The first little problem lies in deleting the /misc/install/-folder. The server refuses and claims missing permission. I am working with a normal FTP-client (captainFTP), the server hoster is Manitu.de. Other problems come up when I try to edit eg. language files and overwrite my edits with the existing. Same thing: no permission.

Is there a way to edit scripts using the Bigace admin UI? Kind of an online-editor that allows acces to all scripts as it already works for templates and designs. This would be the solution because I wouldn't then care anymore who owns the files - Bigace or me, as long I owe Bigace... ;-)

Cheers
Christoph

LOL you are right...

Which version did you initially install? 2.4?

With 2.5 BIGACE sets permissions as mentioned in the install.php file:

Code:

define('DIRECTORY_PERMISSION', 0755);
define('FILE_PERMISSION', 0644);

The easiest way to change that is a little php script, which changes permissions recursive, it must be somewhere here in the forum

The owner indeed shouldn't be changed anymore with 2.5. Is your hoster using SafeMode or any other nasty PHP hardener that tries to "fix" permission?

If you cant find that script, I can have a look later on, busy right now ....

Hi - looking forward for your script - and wondering so far how to implement it. Meaning: What could be the workaround to change owner/permissions while Bigace claims all for the cms?  ;-)

My installation is 2.5 RC4. And my hoster is very gentle and doesn't use those ugly PHP-Limiters.

You could put a file into the bigace root folder and try something like:

Code:

<?php
exec('chmod -R 777 .');
?>

Its the easiest way I can imagine.
