Hey everyone, on my friend's forum, theres a download section but whenever someone goes into the section all of this pops up on the top:

Code:

Warning: mkdir(./pafiledb/cache/templates/RedSilver/): Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/lancer-evo.net/httpdocs/community/pafiledb/includes/template.php on line 80

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vhosts/lancer-evo.net/httpdocs/community/pafiledb/includes/template.php:80) in /var/www/vhosts/lancer-evo.net/httpdocs/community/includes/page_header.php on line 660

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vhosts/lancer-evo.net/httpdocs/community/pafiledb/includes/template.php:80) in /var/www/vhosts/lancer-evo.net/httpdocs/community/includes/page_header.php on line 666

Then if you click on any of the items to download, this comes up:

Code:

Warning: mkdir(./pafiledb/cache/templates/RedSilver/): Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/lancer-evo.net/httpdocs/community/pafiledb/includes/template.php on line 80

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vhosts/lancer-evo.net/httpdocs/community/pafiledb/includes/template.php:80) in /var/www/vhosts/lancer-evo.net/httpdocs/community/pafiledb/modules/pa_download.php on line 393

Anybody know whats wrong with this? Any help would be great, thanks a lot.

"Warning: mkdir(./pafiledb/cache/templates/RedSilver/): Permission denied"

This tells us that basically it can't create a directory (mkdir = make directory) in ./pafiledb/cache/templates/RedSilver/. Your friend needs to CHMOD this folder to 777 (all writeable). Then try.

Let me know how it goes mate. If it fails, I can continue to help.

He gets this error when he trys to make the folder all writable:

Quote:

Unable to change permissions for file /var: filemng failed: chmod: changing permissions of `/var/www/vhosts/lancer-evo.net/var': Operation not permitted filemng: Error occured during /bin/chmod command.

Any ideas?

Well what that means is that for some reason (I've NEVER seen this before, it's extremely rare), his webhost or filemanager is not permitting him from CHMOD'ing.

If you look at errors like this, you can pretty much read it out like plain english. "Unable to change permissions for the directory /var, not permitted by filemanager". Or words to that effect

Has he made sure that he's putting all the files for his phpBB forum into the web directory of the Virtual Host? 90% of the time there's a folder, such as "public_html" that files need to go into to be read through the Apache (or whatever) webserver.

Tell him to make sure he's putting it in the right folder. If he is, then this is very strange. He should contact his host, asking them why he isn't able to CHMOD.

I can't believe this .. never seen it before in my life

Report back when you know anything new, Jack mate.
