Radio help/ Chmod (change mode) Help!

[FirefighterKyle]

Okay so I am trying to use a radio for my site which the radio is in my mysql stuff but when I try to go forth with it (install the rest of it) I get make sure Chmodded it too 777 which my file is 066 or what not I don't know how or where I would go to make it 777 I know Chmod stands for change mode but that is it. None of the tut I looked at on google etc explained it well enough of like where I am post to go etc.

chmod 777 filename.ext

If you are using cPanel, open the File Manager and click on the file. Then click Change Permissions.

So your saying right click on a file > properties and do chmod 777 filename.ext? Like I don't know where I would go to change it if it is renaming the file etc let me know.

Are you using IIS or Apache?

 

[FirefighterKyle]

I am using xampp which yeah apache I watched a couple videos on youtube which I guess filezillia or what not would let me do it in that but if you got an easier or non download way I will do your way.

Hello.

 

[Ecko]

In FileZilla, right click the file on the right hand side and choose File Permissions. Numeric value should be 0777 (if running suPHP, 0644 will work)

Yeah idk how to access my xampp from fileZilla

I see, you're doing everything locally.

You won't need to change the permissions on the file(s) because xampp (apache) is running as a system service on Windows and therefore has system privileges. You should continue with your installation and see if any errors are thrown.

This is also helpful.
- Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the file or directory.
- Right click on it, and select Properties.
- Select the Security tab.
- Click the Add button.
- Use the dialogue to grant Full Control to "Everyone".

I am using Windows XP I looked many things up and it said that Windows doesn't have it or something.

Not sure if its possible through windows XP.

Is this a server or your home PC? I would strongly advise against hosting a radio server on your home PC.

Yeah it is and I am not going to be hosting it at the moment I just wanted to get everything done so once I move to a VPS I wouldn't have to change to much.
