problemwith CHMOD

[Gayowulf]

For some reason when chmodding a file to 755 i get this error.

[config.pl]
COMMAND:> SITE CHMOD 755 config.pl
500 'SITE CHMOD 755 config.pl': command not understood

Is it that my host does not let me chmod?

[bigperm]

Maybe it's not unix...

[Gayowulf]

There's probably a chance of that. i emailed the administrator of my host, so im sure ill get it settled.

im leaning towards non-unix

If it's not UNIX, then it's either NT/2000 or MacOS. I doubt it's MacOS, and NT/2000 servers don't use CHMOD.

MacOS X is unix (bsd) :cool:

Yes, its not a *nix system. I am inexperienced when it comes to scripts and stuff. What do i do about chmod now?

[el crapo]

Since its most likely an NT/2000 server than you don't CHMOD it at all. It's supposedly does for you.

Ok, thanks. Ill try it out. (after i change all the*.pl files from /usr/bin/perl to whatever it is now :( )

if it's Unix, you dont have to type the word "site" before chmodin' something, just get into that directory and type "chmod permission <filename>"

to get to a diff. directory, simply just type cd <dirname>

its alot easier to just do it with an ftp

[niv]

have you tried just CHMOD 755 filename? that works too (using the ftp prompt). note down the message you get at the beginning of the log.

[Gayowulf]

I got it all figured out. I just uploaded it, no CHMOD required. I did have to change /usr/bin/perl to a different location though.

Thanks for trying to help ;)

I wasn't referring to OS X.
