Things to know about File Permissions for Dolphin

Great info. It is ironic that just before coming here I was looking for the same solution (a quicker way to chmod files). And I bumped into this file.

For those who are afraid of command line and love a good old GUI

Hope this helps

then the pair of you need to open your eyes, because all that info is in the docs if you look for it

sammie,
it is partially in the docs. i actually think its for the 5.2 version, and does not apply to 6.x.x

you clearly use the GUI if you think this information was readily available.

i'm not really a technical person...so anyone can recommend any link to set the permission to install dolphon?

well so all of you know, this set of file permissions is out of date as well. i will get an updated list on here soon.

hanzahar, nosir there is no link to change the file permissions, when this post was fresh, you could copy and paste these into an ssh and change the permissions, but since 6.1.1 this is not the case. there are about 30 files that will still need to be touched.

Hello, I'm Heath Goodman, not a significant person in this world really. However, I try to contribute to worthy causes. Boonex seems to be a worthy cause.
Dolphin installations don't have to be so tedious anymore, in regards to setting permissions to the almost 100 files. Save a bunch of time by doing the following-

1. Put the two php files provided- chmodauto.php and chmodautorev.php in the root folder where all the main dolphin files reside such as www.yourdomain.com/dolphin. THESE FILES MUST BE IN THE ROOT DOLPHIN FOLDER!
2. When you come to the first install screen that asks you to set the permissions and all of the files are in red, point another browser window to www.yourdomain.com/dolphin (or whatever name you've chosen)/chmodauto.php (this calls up the php script- where it resides).
If all goes as planned the window should report that all permissions on the files have successfully been updated.
3. Close the window that successfully executes the script chmodauto.php
4.Click check on the install window to check to see if all files are green indicating a green light to go to the next step.
5. After going through the other steps (naming database, setting up cron jobs etc.) you will come to a screen that will tell you to reverse a few files in regards to their permissions. You could do this manually (not as tedious as setting the 92 permissions) or you could just point another browser window to www.yourdomain.com/dolphin (or whatever name you've chosen)/chmodautorev.php (this calls up the php script). This should display a successful reversal of these files.
6. Close the window that successfully executes the script chmodautorev.php
7. Click check on the install window to check to see if all files are green indicating a green light to go to the final step (which is to remove the install folder from your directory.
8.However, the final step in this case is then to remove the files chmodauto.php and chmodautorev.php from the root folder where they reside.
Wala- you just saved a bunch of time. Now go use that time to do something even more important like snuggling up to the ones you love.
