I have a similar problem with chmod. I am installing a module that works with a phpnuke for a guy who rents a server and webspace with nuclearfallout.net. This module requires a particular file to be chmod to 777. I was able to chmod this file through my ftp client to 777. However, i have noticed that anytime i chmod a file to 777 it never functions properly as if the host does not allow this chmod. On some of the modules i installed i was forced to chmod to 755. This worked.. however, for this particular module it will not operate correctly if it cannot work with chmod 777. Does nuclearfallout.net limit the ability for this type of chmod?
It sounds like that module has a broken install guide.
Some webhosts (read: less secure webhosts) require all executable files to be readable, writeable, and executable by everyone, which is "777". We don't. Instead, our systems run each program as the user it is installed by, and for security reasons, you aren't allowed to let other users have write privileges to your scripts.
In fact, anything with an extension of ".php" should be chmod'ed to 600, and anything ending in ".pl" or ".cgi" should be chmod'ed to 700. There's no reason anyone but your user should be able to read, write, or execute it. If the file still won't work, it's probably because you set the permissions on the directory wrong -- we go over this a bit at http://rentals.nuclearfallout.net/rent. ... hosting#16 -- basically , make sure the directory is set to 755 and that's taken care of.
