Hi everyone

I am trying to install this script and I get the error:
A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again.

I have changed the file permissions for the directory and all sub-directories and files to Read/Write/Execute (777) as per the readme.txt file. I have edited the config file as per the readme.txt file too.

If anyone has any ideas what else could be the problem, please let me know!

1 - Which script are we talking about?
2 - Where about on your site have you put it since some hosts do not allow permission changes in certain folders.

Hi Carbonize

Thanks for your reply. It's the Advanced Guestbook Script v.2.4.4. I am from the hosting company; a client had a problem installing it so I'm trying to help him out. Its installed in the public_html folder in a directory called "guestbook" at http://www.quest-net.co.za/guestbook. I changed the file permissions for the "guestbook" folder and all of its sub-folders and files to 777 too... Not sure what it could be though?

What happens if you set all the files to 755 ?

Hi Carbonize

That worked perfectly with permissions set to 755; you're a star, thank you!

The tmp and public folders will need to be 777 so that guests can upload images with their entries.
