Have you read the README files that accompany the package?

[hells1614]

yes, but we cannot get passed setting the positions after we have renamed the dist-config.php to config.php

sorry i meant permissions

[stevesh]

I usually change permissions using the CHMOD option in my FTP client.

If you can't do that, you can usually change them with the file manager in your host's control panel.

Hi

I'm the friend who's trying to help :)

I uploaded the whole caboodle using filezilla, and late last night i managed to change the names and permissions of dist_config to config and 777 (the first two in the instructions).

This morning when I got up the permissions were back to where I started.

I managed it through the filezilla, as the hosting server thingy wouldn't allow me to do it (something about being only able to change permissions through a Unix Server, not windows).

Why have the permissions gone back to as they were? And how come it won't let me change them again?

I'm getting bald spots where I'm tearing my hair out now...
