Hi zick, 

Are you getting any errors or is anything not working?

If anything needs to be changed CMSB should give you instructions on what to do.  

Let me know some more details and I'll try to help.  Thanks!

I did get a plain text message displayed on the screen to check the permissions on the "settings" file. I'm installing CMS Builder on a Virtual Private Server and will be doing a lot of installs on a VPS going forward... so I figured I could save myself some time if I new the permissions settings for the directories and files that are critical for the install. This way I can set / check them before running the installer.

Hi zick, 

Ok sure, basically it's the /data/ folder and everything under it, and any /upload/ folders:

  • /data/
  • /data/*.* (all files in dir)
  • /data/schema/
  • /data/schema/*.* (all files in dir)
  • /data/schemaPresets/
  • /data/schemaPresets/*.* (all files in dir)
  • /data/backups/
  • (any upload dir) and thumb subfolders.

To find the highest security supported by your server try these chmod permissions and use the first one that works: 755, 775, 777

And if you happen to forget something, the installer should remind you anyway to ensure it's setup correctly.

Hope that helps, let me know any questions.
