The data directory is 755 - and is allowing write.</p> <p>It looks like there is no problem at this time, the reason I (semi) panicked was that your instructions called for 777 which they don't allow.</p> <p>Let's put this one in the background for now. But it is good info for others that may come across this situation.</p> <p>Ron </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/cmod-777#post-4017 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 07:40:09 +0000 yuniar 4017@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Ok, so basically MachForm need writable access to your "machform/data" folder.<br /> Depends on how your host configure the permission of your Apache/PHP, either 755 or 777 should be working.</p> <p>If none of them is working, I suggest to contact them back and ask how to create a writable folder.</p> <p>Have you tried running MachForm there? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/cmod-777#post-4014 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 04:56:54 +0000 rscott7706 4014@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Man, have I got a new one - it may become a hot item soon.</p> <p>I had trouble with one of my sites, and called my web host (Bluehost). They said they are no longer allowing CMOD 777. It is a "hack" situation they say.</p> <p>They say it can be circumvented by coding of some sort (wouldn't say how). I just don't know how coding can circumvent a non-writable folder.</p> <p>Has anyone experienced this, and if so any thoughts?</p> <p>Can MachForm run with the data folder set at 0755?</p> <p>Ron </p>
