Topic: Setting PHP html permissions

How do I make config.php a writable file??? It keeps saying that permission is not granted. This is done inside CuteFTP behind the network.

You can't do that with an FTP client without a lot of fiddling the FTP server config. Rather than do that it would be much easier to do it at the command line as root

login as root
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/
chmod 742 config.php
ls -la

while you are there check the user.group and chown as neccessary

chown newuser.newgroup config.php
logout


EDIT
Afterthought - You can do chmod etc with FileZilla in secure mode as it conects via SSH rather than FTP. Personally I thinks in FTP mode its a better FTP client than Cute anyway

EDIT2
Further afterthought - the Primary ibay does not allow execution of dynamic content (CGI/PHP etc).
You may have to create a new ibay with the correct permissions and point your domain there instead of the primary.

Edit locally, then upload it when logged in as "admin".
