Help me stop banging my head against a wall

[hexadecimal]

I have been going nuts with frustration over the past two days trying to get a CMS script to work propoerly. I have installed it sucessfully before but this time is a nightmare.

After finnaly checking the error log I see this error message:
[2004-05-13 15:06:29]: error: directory is writable by others: (/home/mydomain/public_html/education)

This is for a directory that must be chmod 777 for the script to work. It and other directories have to be chmod 777 as is of course quite common in tons of scripts.

What is the problem here?

Thanks for any help.

might want to check this FAQ:

Basicly, PHPsuexec does not allow
item(s)/folder(s) to be CHMOD'd 777;
try something like 755, as usually it'd work...

Thanks for such quick help Jonathan.

Read the thread and tried a 755 - seems to be working fine now.

I can stop bannging my head against the wall now.

Much appreciated.
