Setting up Permissions

[deadamc]

I'm trying to install a php program on my website, and it requires that access be set to a few different settings on a few different files. And also to set the access of the main folder to 777.

I need to change 3 of my PHP files to 755, 777, and 755.
I need to set the folder they are in to 777, but when I do and try to open it, it gives me an internal server error.. then it defaults itself back to 755.

I need to find out how I can set the permissions to files and folders and make them stay and function properly.

Thanks.

With phpsuexec you do not need to chmod anything to other than what it is normally. Regular files scripts at 644 and folders at 755.
