Hi there.
I am trying to install PostNuke.
After uploading the "HTML" folder I point my browser to the /install.php URL. About the third page of installation... I get this text:

Code
chmod Check

We will first check to see that your file permissions are correct in order for the script to write to the file. if your settings are not correct, this script will not be able to encrypt your data in your config file. Encrypting the SQL data is added security, and is set by this script. You will also not be able to update your preferences from your admin once your site is up and running.

Please change permissions on config.php to 666 so this script can write and encrypt the DB data (HINT: use "chmod")
Please change permissions on config-old.php to 666 so this script can write and encrypt the DB data (HINT: use "chmod")

And at the bottom is a button saying: "Re-check"

What do I do?

Thanks.

Tarkanos if you have shell access to your webserver just do this:
Log into your home dir and ex this command chmod 666 config.php config-old.php
If you do not have a shell access to your webserver use your ftp client
Log into your webserver find files config.php and config-old.php right click on your mouse and set this permissions
Owner: read, write
Group: read, write
Other: read, write
If you need more help contact me

Hi - Most FTP clients (WS_FTP, etc...) also let you right-click on a particular file and select the CHMOD command for the file... (CHMOD changes the "permissions" on a file, i.e. what the server is allowed to do with the file - read, write and/or execute). After selecting the file, selecting CHMOD, you can set it manually to 666 or check Read and Write in all three columns...
