Php script to check permissions after install.

I'm sure others have ha this problem as well. You work on a site locally in say mamp or Xampp, all permissions are correct but once uploaded to an active site, the permissions change. If you try to run the install script it says your site is already installed but yet: you cannot add anything to a page, cannot add to an album..., etc. A script to check all these permissions similar to the one during the install would be nice. One that could be run multiple times to check for additions (modules) that did not have the permissions applied correctly..

Re: Php script to check permissions after install.

you can do something like this create a new file called check.php

add this inside

<?php
require_once ('data/inc/functions.admin.php');

check_writable('images');
check_writable('data/modules');
check_writable('data/settings');
check_writable('data/trash');
check_writable('data/themes');
check_writable('data/themes/default');
check_writable('data/themes/green');
check_writable('data/themes/oldstyle');
check_writable('data/settings/langpref.php');
check_writable('data/settings/themepref.php');

?>

open admin.php file and add this where do you find similar code

//Check file permissions
			case 'check':
				include_once('data/inc/header.php');
				include_once('data/inc/check.php');
			break;

and if you point your browser to /admin.php?action=check you should see the list with the files

Re: Php script to check permissions after install.

There is a simple way:

edit install.php

find

if (file_exists('data/settings/install.dat')) {
	$titelkop = $lang_install;
	include_once ('data/inc/header2.php');
	redirect('login.php', 3);
	echo $lang_install1;
	include_once ('data/inc/footer.php');
}

and repace it with

if (file_exists('data/settings/install.dat')) {
	$titelkop = $lang_install;
	include_once ('data/inc/header2.php');
		echo $lang_install1."<br /><br />Checks permision:<br />";
			//Writable checks.
			check_writable('images');
			check_writable('data/modules');
			check_writable('data/settings');
			check_writable('data/trash');
			check_writable('data/themes');
			check_writable('data/themes/default');
			check_writable('data/themes/green');
			check_writable('data/themes/oldstyle');
			check_writable('data/settings/langpref.php');
			check_writable('data/settings/themepref.php');
	//redirect('login.php', 3);
	echo "<br />You may also <a href=\"login.php\">Login now!</a>";

	include_once ('data/inc/footer.php');
}

Now when you access install.php file you will see permisions and you will be able also to login.

These responses are why I love this CMS and forum. Thank you both for you quick replies and solutions. This should be a permanent addition to the current pluck.6.3

AFAIK - there will be no changes in 4.6.x - only security updates. All work is on 4.7 and I think this feathure will be avaliable in 4.7.
