WampServer

How do i change dirrectory persmision in the www fold on a windows mashine?

you can not chmod a windows directory, it is only supported on linux/unix.dont worry about it because not being able to set permissions for windows will not effect your script in any way.

if you are installing a script and it says you need to chmod a directory, just ignore that instruction.

Right click on your folder and uncheck "Read Only" if checked because it might effects your scripts.

Some apps will auto change back to "Read Only" and in that case, you can't do nothing but accept it.

Well how the hell do you run a PHP script that will not let you past a certain point unless it see's a 777 permission?!

Im getting so frustrated i spent like 5 hours on this yesterday.

Go to this link on instruction on how to run and install WAMPS

[movielibrary.lynda.com]

they give you five free videos that will help you, also take note of my tips below.


After installing WAMP I found only one service working, when I Checked which service was not running, I found it was the Apache server. On the Apache link I pressed test port 80, and found my IIS 5.0 was using it even after I disconnected using the Internet Information Services icon.


Solution

1- I Uninstalled WAMP
2- I stopped IIS 5.0 by Click on Start, followed by Run, and type "CMD". Press OK, then I entered iisreset /stop in the Command Prompt window and press enter.
3- I installed WAMP
4- Pressed start all services

Since I work with ASP I’m going to have to stop the IIS server by using step 2 every time



You only need one server at a time to work. Stop IIS when you need to work with PHP or stop WAMPS when you wish to work with ASP remember to start the respective server that you wish to work with.

Starting IIS Server

go to the Control Panel - click on the Administrative Tools icon - then click Internet Information Services - expand the local computer tree - right click on Default Web Site then - click Start to run IIS server.

Stopping IIS Server

go to the Control Panel - click on the Administrative Tools icon - then click Internet Information Services - expand the local computer tree - right click on Default Web Site then - click Stop IIS server.


Starting WAMPS (PHP & MYSQL) Server

Pressed start all services from the task bar icon of the WAMPS icon


Stop WAMPS (PHP & MYSQL) Server

Pressed start stop all services from the task bar icon of the WAMPS icon

If you need to chage permissions and you have no Security tab to adjust or change permissions, just use the following steps:

1. Launch Windows Explorer or My Computer.
2. Click on the Tools at the menu bar, then click on Folder Options.
3. Click on View tab.
4. In the Advanced Settings section at the bottom of the list, uncheck and unselect (clear the tick) on the “Use simple file sharing (Recommended)” check box.
5. Click OK.
6. Now right click on the florder you wish to change permissions
7. Click on the Security tab
8. Change the Security for your users and press ok.

What if I unchecked read-only and it still doesnt work?

Hi I tryed these instructions and found that “Use simple file sharing (Recommended)” check box was not there. Any ideas?


1. Launch Windows Explorer or My Computer.
2. Click on the Tools at the menu bar, then click on Folder Options.
3. Click on View tab.
4. In the Advanced Settings section at the bottom of the list, uncheck and unselect (clear the tick) on the “Use simple file sharing (Recommended)” check box.
5. Click OK.
6. Now right click on the florder you wish to change permissions
7. Click on the Security tab
8. Change the Security for your users and press ok.

Already mentioned, list application that you guys want to run, if I've already tested it, I will give you a hint.
