Hi all, I had to upload a site I'm building to a testing server and I couldn't get it to run at all. Turned out it was a permission issue and the superb chap at the hosting company (clook.net) diagnosed and fixed it for me. I'm about to upload the finished site to a new server and need to know how I can overcome what will likely still be an issue as I'm working from the same c5 installation on my HD (I'm new to c5...).

Here's what the server chap said "The c5 directory, and several below it had group writeable permissions. I have now set the permissions correctly and the site now appears to be working."

I thought I had set the permissions to 755 correctly but here's what he said "Changing the permissions of a directory in the cPanel file manager only changes the permissions of that directory, not its subdirectories. I did "find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;" from a shell in the public_html directory". Very helpful but I have no idea what any of that means!

If anyone can let me know how to ensure that my permissions are correct before I upload I'll me very happy indeed. Thanks, John
