What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: CHMOD 666

Write your message below:
Hi, if I try to add a new topic I get the error
Couldn't create file "msg/9.html"! Please CHMOD the "msg" folder to 666 (rw-rw-rw)!
My ftp client doesn't let you CHMOD numerically but I've changed the properties to enable Read and Write in all three groups; this should be rw-rw-rw, right? I've done the same for the other files that should have these permissions. Can't see what else to do.
thanks for any help.

Hi,

Try to chmod the msg folder to "read, write, execute" for all (owner, group, others). Or numerically that would be 777 (rwxrwxrwx)

That fixed it, thanks a lot. It's great to be able to stick up a simple message board without having to faff around with databases. Is there any way to edit or remove comments? I tried downloading the html files in the msg folder but get a file transfer error. Maybe an error with my ftp client?
cheers
