Excellent Contrib!
Really speeds up the process of checking file permissions.
And opens your eyes to permissions security.

I'm getting the following error:

Warning: unlink() [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in ........./catalog/admin/check_permissions.php on line 337

Hi

Thanks for the great contribution, which I am trying to use on my newly installed shop.

I already changed the name of the admin folder, and checking file and folder permissions was the next natural step. Installing your contribution was easy, but it quite doesn't work as expected.

I'll explain: I read other users reporting errors, which I didn't get (which is good), but the contrib, even if it does show the status of the permissions on each and every file and folder of the website, it then does not succeed in changing them accordingly.

I get, when clicking on the button "update", the following resulsts:

The directory backups exists, so this is OK.
Directory 	./includes 	755 	Update failed
Directory 	./ext 			755 	Update failed
Directory 	./pub 			755 	OK
Directory 	./download 	755 	OK

This happens with all the files and directoris that should be modified. I just copy/pasted the first 4, otherwise the post would have been too long (I have 5 languages, in my shop).
The first 2 directories, for exampled, should have been changed to 644, but the update was not possible.
I have to manually change the permission via FTP if I want the contribution to say "OK"

Is there something I am missing? Or is this an issue of the contribution?

My release is 2.2 RC2a

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Someone forgot an inclued or require statement to get the check_permissions.php in english. when  I first installed it you can see all the TEXT_CHECK_PERMISSIONS_TEXT_QUESTION_12 stuff instead of what its suppose to say

Hi

Does this contribution work if the Admin file has been renamed. I've renamed mine and Check Permissions doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone got this working on OSCMax? (I realize this is the OSCommerce forum but there are a number of OSCMax folks lurking) I have found that this does not work in OSCMax 2.0.15/.25 out of the box. The configurations need to be changed to match the new Admin panel.

In admin/index.php add:

array('title' => BOX_TOOLS_CHECK_PERMISSIONS, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECK_PERMISSIONS, 'selected_box=tools')),

in the Box_Heading_Tools array section, it is alphabetical if placed after the line:

array('title' => BOX_TOOLS_CACHE, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_CACHE, 'selected_box=tools')),

Or where-ever you like, just not after the close '))))' for that section.

I am getting a Write Permissions error at this point so need to find out what I missed... (more needs to be edited):

"Access Denied    No Write Permission Access    Please contact your Web Administrator to request more access or if you found any problem."

Hi and thanks for the contribution,
I installed it and after pressing the CHECK BUTTON:
There is a big list of .php files that as default have 644 like permission, and the contribution suggest me to change them to 755 to see "OK".
Definitely I'm doing something wrong but it seems that the contribution ask me (action required)  in a opposed way to what I read in the forum.

Also make sure that all files, except for the two configure.php files have permissions no higher than 644.

The permissions for the two configure.php files will vary according to the server your site is on - it could be 644, 444 or 400 which is correct.

Permissions on folders should be no higher than 755. If your hosting setup demands permissions of 777 on folders then change hosts.

All .php files are at 644 and directories are 755 but the contribuition ask me to change a lot of .php files to 755.
What I'm doing wrong?
I need your advise.

Or you could have missed the step to install the languages file.

It should work for any name of the admin directory and should display the name of it.

Did you see this

If you start getting error messages, Apache is being run as a user that doesn\'t have permissions to change permissions.

Have you checked the permissions on the file you are editing?

It would appear to be an error on the permissions on this file rather than the contribution.

I need your advise.

You can set the permissions you want to test against on the first screen, the advice on permission levels may have changed since I last amended this or alternatively I might just be prompting with the wrong value.

Just change it to the one you want.

Hi there,

I have added this contrib but it doesn't seem to be working when i navigate to the link through tools in admin, i just get a 404 not found FILENAME_CHECK_PERMISSIONS was not found on this server.

If i navigate to check_permissions.php through a web browser it works.

Anyone have any ideas?

You missed out one of the installation steps.

I used this to change all my folders to 755 and my files to 644. I didn't notice for a few hours I had a "warning: able to write to the config file" at the top of the store so hopefully everything is all good. I changed it to 0444. My question is, what other files do not need to be writeable and need to be changed from 644 to 444?

[geoffreywalton]

This is the only one that I know of.

This normally means you have not followed all of the installation steps.

If you post the whole message I could tell you more.

I'm trying to install this add-on and am running into a problem.  I uploaded all the files like the instructions in the zip say, but on step 3 it says:

Quote

3. Add this line to admin/includes/boxes/tools.php

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECK_PERMISSIONS) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_CHECK_PERMISSIONS . '</a><br>' .

after

BOX_TOOLS_NEWSLETTER_MANAGER . '</a><br>' .

When I go to that file and open it up to add the above line, this is what it looks like:

<?php

	  )
	)
  );
?>

Where am I supposed to add this line?

[qkzoo]

Anybody?

[biggeorge]

I'm having the same problem! I do not have the line BOX_TOOLS_NEWSLETTER_MANAGER . '</a><br>' in my tools.php file. Running 2.3.1
