heres what i did

a friend of mine wrote me this php script for my web site so i could easily display files in dirs and add a bunch of other info about each file..

anyway, thats not my problem.. i went to add a user, and got a php error saying "error cannot write to file blah blah blah" because the attribs (+r+w, ya know)for the files and dirs that are part of the script didnt have any permissions set yet..

so i change the attributes on the two dirs that the script uses, still the same error.. then i made all the files that were part of this php script read/writeable..

still the same problem..

this is where i messed up.. i thought "well mabye i need to set my public_html to read, write"..  i guess this is a bad idea because now my domain is 403 forbidden and i cant access my public html directory..

please tell me how/if its possible to undo this.. i tryed re-seting the attribs but it didnt seem to help..

i have a fresh backup of the entire site so if someone at lunarpages has got to nuke my public_html dir thats cool.. ill just re-upload everything.. it was a mess anyways Smile

hi,

If you cannot undo the chmod for your folder, just write a short line to the support and ask them to do it for you. I don't think there's any need to have your backup replaced. It happened to me once before hehe, and I just called them up and asked them to chmod it  Smile

Good luck!

PS. oh by the way, is this the right place for this post? hehehe, i thought it should be in somewhere else in the forums Wink
