PBW Emergency game sites server files

[CNCRaymond]

Thanks Ruatha for doing this, I have done as you said, and for some reason I get this error when testing the upload ability.

Warning: Unable to create 'turnfiles/ssff2_0001.plr': Permission denied in /home/httpd/vhosts/astmod.com/httpdocs/ssff2/turnfile.php on line 69
upload failed!

Any idea what might be causing it?

You might need to fiddle with the chmod permissions of the PHP files and folders (esp. for being able to upload files to the server). The folder where the plr files get uploaded to will need 777 permissions.

I will check this. Right now there is only the
Read & Write, Read Only, Write, etc options, with

Owner
Group
Public

Any suggestions?

[Fyron]

777 means that read, write and execute are on for all 3 types of Users. The folder for uploads needs to have read, write and execute access turned on for all 3 types of Users, or 777 chmod permissions.

What program are you using to see these? Most FTP programs provide an easy way to set the chmod permissions.

That did it, and thank you very much. I can see why PCP recommends you as one of the more knowledgeable folks on this site.

My question now is what happens? The file is uploaded, IE a test, how do I receive it for processing?

I think you just have to connect to the folder and download all of the plr files manually.

Yep, tehre is no automatic functions, the purpose of the site is only to ease the transmission of files for the player.
I run it at home on my PC so when all files are here I just execute a turn manually and empty the turnfiles folder, replace the gamefile and update the deadline, mail a massmail to all players with the gamefile.
So it's still standard PBEM but with a HTML page as alternative.
