chmod-problems

[danieloberg]

I've tried three different ftp-programs but still have the same problem, I set the chmod-properties of a file to 755, and the ftp-program list the file as -rwxr-xr-x, but I still get a 500 Internal Server Error when I try to load the file in my browser. What could I possibly be doing wrong?

Ok, a 500 response means there is something wrong with your code rather than a permissions error.

Try switching off the "friendly HTTP error" in IE (if thats what you're using): Tools > Internet Options > Advanced then uncheck the box that says "Show friendly HTTP error messages"... then you should be able to see what the actual error that your script flags up.
