This is where I got my start Rick:

I am trying to install a php script and in the readme file that came with it it says

Set the attributes of the file "lplist.txt"
to 666 - meaning read and write access for
all parties.

Question; how do I set the attributes of the file to 666 - or anything else for that matter?

Josh

This is Unix related. You can change the attributes with any good FTP program. In CuteFTP Pro for example you just right click the directory/file and select 'properties (CHMOD)'.

A good site for free PHP and CGI scripts is http://www.resourceindex.com/

Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes, as most of you know I have done and am maintaining the site for the 2004 Manitoba Summer Games. Well I wanted a forum on the site but I really didnt need one as big as PPHBBS like this board so I looked around and found the greatest little board, it's called Chipmunk, it's easy to set up and maintain and great for a small site that wants to have a forum. Though someone might be interested so here is a link to the one I am using if you care to have a look

http://www.2004mtsmanitobagames.ca/board/index.php

requires php and mysql, but I think it's kind of neat and it's free too [righton]

Hats off to you Rick! I think the board is great! You have really come a long way in the coding area and doing great!! :} 8}

Thanks Linda

- mind if I ask a question?

- our City has posted a request for tenders to maintain the city website for the next year and I am planning on putting in a tender, I don't think they want a redesign just someone to maintain and upgrade the site. I haven't got a clue what to charge. For my own clients, when I design the site I will give the a price of $100.00/ month to keep it maintained, but that is because I wrote the code and know my way around, I would think that I would need to charge more for a site written by someone else as it would be a lot more difficult.

This is a pretty big site 300 plus pages and not very well commented. What do you think?
