    phpBB installation, permissions

    Just a quick item of note:
    Installation Guide says: chmod -rw-rw-rw- config.php

    Most often this would be done using an FTP client.
    I have been unable to do this, and assume its because the dir does not
    have 'w' set for group, other. I know when creating dir's on a Unix
    host, the dir takes on the permissions of its parent. I'm also
    guessing that its rare for "htdocs" directories to have 'w' set and to
    do a chmod for config.php requires changing every dir on the tree.

    I also noticed some hosts have installers or fantastico to install
    phpBB.
    Is there any difference, compared to doing it manually ?
    Any comments ? ( I know this isn't specifically a PHP question;
    didn't know a better group )

Working...
