Stupid Question :-/

This is really getting on my nerves now. I have chown'ed the files correctly, so that they have 'footy' as the owner, and 'psacln' as the group...however, I still can't edit any of the files, except for acevars.php, which was uploaded via FTP. All the other ones, although they appear to have the same setup, still return an error! Anyone seen this before, maybe something that is not visable, that I'm missing?

Code:
 -rw-r--r--    1 footy    psacln       4338 Sep 10 11:45 acevars.php  
dr-xr-xr-x    6 footy    psacln       4096 May 30 14:37 admin

All your threads start the same way. "This is really annoying me now".

The person advertising hosting in his signature doesn't know how to setup files properly?

What is the error? 550 Permission Denied?

Yeah;

550 /httpdocs/config.php: Permission denied
ERROR:> Requested action not taken (e.g., file or directory not found, no access).

Its weird though as I already said, cos both the user and group are set the same, yet some files work, and others don't Unsure

Hi Andy

They don't "appear to have the same setup" at all. Look at the permissions. You can read most of the files if you are the owner, but I don't see any write permissions to any of them except for acevars.php and a few others.

You need to CHMOD them to a suitable permission level.

Look at the difference between the following:

Code:
 -rw-r--r--    1 footy    psacln       4338 Sep 10 11:45 acevars.php   
 -r--r--r--    1 footy    psacln      12868 May 30 14:37 admin.php

Look at the permissions carefully. What do you see in the first three columns (the owner) that is different from the other one? I'll highlight it for you to give you a clue.
