CHMODing Question my xF

[Ranger375]

I'm clueless about what I should set everything at/what needs to be set at what. Could anyone clue me in

You only need to chmod these two folders:

data
internal_data

They need to be writable, or chmod 777.

What server are you running?
Essentially all you need to do is what is listed in the INSTALL.txt document.

To install XenForo, you will need to extract the zip and upload all the files
from the contained upload directory onto your web server. You may upload into
your web root, or any folder within the web root. This shall be referred to
as your XenForo Directory.

Having uploaded the necessary files, you should direct your web browser to the
URL that corresponds to your XenForo Directory and add '/install' to the address
(eg: http://www.example.com/xenforo/install). This will trigger the installation
process, which will guide you through the necessary steps to get a working XenForo
installation running on your server.

Have you tried installing it?
Did you encounter any errors?

Personally I didn't have to chmod anything.

I installed it without an issue, I just wanted to make sure if there were any permissions that needed to be set. Thanks for clearing that up.

You only need to chmod these two folders:

data
internal_data

They need to be writable, or chmod 777.

And all other files/folders.
Files 644.
Folders 755.

OK, just found out (from the man himself) that as my server runs suexec then that's why I didn't have to chmod anything.

For people who don't know what that means.
