PBW Emergency game sites server files

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.

Ruatha, you need to update the link to the Newbie FAQ in your sig to the new thread number.

I'm thinking of checking out Belisarious batch file, so that perhaps making an option on the site configuration.txt to have automatic turn execution, when all players have uploaded (check at every upload in the php script and then execute bat) or/and when deadline expires (Can't check this in the php, in that case it will only be checked when the page is accessed), either a continous batch file or an exe file continiously running that checks the time and executes the turn batch file on deadlines and then updates the deadline.txt.

But that is a future option for the next time (if) PBW goes down.
