Installation

Hi I am entering a custom command into filezilla these are the instructions,

Enter this command:”chmod *** DIR“; where “***” is the numerical value of the required FPs and “DIR” is the location of the file to be modified. “chmod” stands for “Change Mode”

This is what I am entering,

chmod777/modx-1.0.4/assets/cache

change mode 777 modx-1.0.4/assets/cache

what am I doing wrong here
thanks

I think I have sorted it Thanks!

1. There needs to be spaces between the parameters:


2. It probably needs a full path, like /home/domain.com/public_html/assets/cache

Hi I installed everything, however, after installation I got this message and a list that followed is this a normal process or will I need these files/tables;

MODx setup couldn’t install/alter some tables inside the selected database.

Does your database user have create and alter permissions on the database?

Hi Susan thanks for all your help I have been given instructions by my hosting staff as to how to get into create and alter permissions once I am there is there anything inparticular you need me to look at and change?

When I went into the process in my data base management it gave me some options;

Privilege name Current status
grant
lock tables
drop
create routine
create temporary tables
update
create
alter
index
execute
select
alter routine
show view
references
insert
delete
create view

There is a button across from all of these should I select them all?

Thanks

I always do (select them all, that is). You might want to de-select "grant", though, since MODx certainly doesn’t need to grant permissions to other users.
