Writing to archives

[gamesplurge1]

I know I have everything CHMODed correctly but upon running my diagnostics I get "Can't save the file "/home/jreeves01/public_html/content/gm-testfile.txt". Please make sure that directory to save the file is CHMODed to 666 and try running Diagnostics & Repair from the Configuration screen."

What could be the problem?

Not to be pendantic, but are you sure that is the correct file path?

Also, I think that the directory should actually be chmod'd 777, according to the install document. I will fix that error message.

I did all the steps from the installation document (CHMODed files and directory, enter the correct paths, etc) and right after running diagnostics, I experience the same problem.

Is it been solved yet?

In addition, I'm using Greymatter 1.7.3
OS: Linux
Apache version: 1.3.37 (Unix)
PERL version: 5.8.7
Path to PERL: /usr/bin/perl
PHP version 4.4.4

Hope it will be fixed soon.

Have you put a test file in the directory:
/home/jreeves01/public_html/content/
And viewed it from a web browser?

With your Os and Perl version you shouldn't have a problem running Greymatter. With that error message, either your path is wrong, or there is an issue with your permissions.

Post back with the test file.

Regarding the path, details below is the path in my site.

Local Log Path: /public_html/demo/gm
Local Entries/Archives Path: /public_html/demo/gm/archives
Local CGI Path: /public_html/demo/cgi-bin/gmcore
Website Log Path: demo.mistyart.com/gm
Website Entries Path: demo.mistyart.com/gm/archives
Website CGI Path: demo.mistyart.com/cgi-bin/gmcore

I upload a test.php into the "archives" directory.
The directory itself already chmod-ed to 777.
I notice test.php has 644.

demo.mistyart.com/gm/archives/test.php

And the result is: 500 Internal server error.

Any help would be good

Ok I found your paths where
Website Log Path: mistyart.com/demo/gm
Website Entries Path: mistyart.com/demo/gm/archives
Website CGI Path: mistyart.com/demo/cgi-bin/gmcore

You need to
chmod folders demo, gm, and archives,cgi-bin, and gmcore to 777
copy an empty index.php file into gm and archives
run Diagnostics & Repair again
add a new user and delete Alice after testing your new user

Good Luck,
Carlos

Dear Carlos...

Many thank you for the advice.
It's a little bit confusing because I'm using subdomain...
Also, unstable connection speed during the upload process might corrupt some files and affect chmodding steps...

I've try several times to find out what was wrong, combine your advice with my curiousity, and suddenly.... it works!!

Unfortunately, it becomes hard to identify what was the main point behind all of that since I do many trial and errors.

Anyway, again.... thank you so much for the help. ^^
