Hi Andrew,

 Of course the book is written in ver 6.06 and you are installing ver 7.10 .....

I am trying to prepare installation notes for ver 7.10 but haven't formatted and beautified them yet .....

Check the permissions on the student folder. Firstly, have the folders been created for each user ?  Does the owner of the folder have write rights ?
Drop to terminal and if the folder is in /var/www/student  go to /var/www and type ls -la and this will give owner for each folder eg. the student folder
Does the owner of the student folder have rwx rights ? The owner appears as the first triplet in the rights . It is ower, group and other eg. r--, rw-rwx means 
owner(read only ), group (read, write only ), other or everyone ( read, write, exexute ). An unusual example, but that is the structure.

You need to connect by FTP as the owner of the folder. Then if you have the read and write rights you should be able to upload. 
If the rights are not correct, use the command chmod u+rwx student. This gives the owner full rights to the folder student.

Over to you Andrew

Regards

Kevork

Dear all

Just finalizing a setup for php and mysql. (using kevorks book) For some
reason I can't actually seem to transfer files to the box. I can connect
via FTP but it won't upload. I seem to get permission issues.

I am using ubuntu 7.10.

Does any one have any suggestions. I have looked through the book a few
times and can't find it.

It seems to be the only issue I have now.

Andrew
