Access your cPanel.Access File Manager.Go to the file/directory you need to change and select by simply clicking on it.Upper right hand side, you'll see CHANGE PERMISSIONS.Select the check boxes until you achieve the value of 777.PS Don't forget to QUOTE what is not yours.

well i always do this with my ftp client... i dont think it makes any different... but you can try it.

I suppose you could try changing them with a php script but I don't think it would make much of a difference than changing it via cPanel:

 

<?chmod("/home/username/public_html/folder/file_it_complains_about1.php", 0777);chmod("/home/username/public_html/folder/file_it_complains_about2.php", 0777);chmod("/home/username/public_html/folder/file_it_complains_about3.php", 0777);?>

Save as XXX.php and run.

 

Or if you haven't done anything with IPB yet, try reinstalling it.

well yeah you can also use that... but i also think you just need to reinstall it

but,why you don't read the instruction when you install it?you should change some directories( i think 2) to 777.but you didn't change that.what you only to do is read the instruction of the installation.to me,ipb i have installed many times i just can not remember the times,and it's really simple.you just read the readme.txt or the same sort file of that.all projects install are like that.=-=guangdian
