Chmod Taking An Eternity

Just trying to configure Dada mail for my site and I had to CHMOD the mail.cgi script. It was set at 644 and I am using cPanel to set it to 755 per the instructions.<br /><br />So far that thing has been chugging for about 5 min. Does it usually take this long to make the change?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Nat<!--content-->
Ok.. my dial up dropped... connection is bad right now b/c of rain.<br /><br />Just went back in and tried to change the Permission to 755 and it won't do it. It just stays at 644.<br /><br />Any ideas why this might be happening?<br /><br />The Permissions tables shows<br /><br /> User Group World<br />Read x x x<br />Write x<br />Execute <br />Permission 6 4 4<br /><br /><br />Thanks,<br />Nat<!--content-->
Hmmmm this is not working in cPanel. I also tried using WS FTP but the CHMOD command won't let me change the permission numbers.<br /><br />Strange.<!--content-->
Nat,<br /><br />What file are you trying to change? it is probably because it is a script and you are not the owner.<!--content-->

In the online <a href="http://mojo.skazat.com/installation/" target="_blank">installation instructions</a>, it states to CHMOD the mail.cgi file to 755.<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec--><b>From the Dada site</b>Step #4: Upload Dada Mail<br />Log into your hosting account using your FTP program and navigate to your cgi-bin. In your cgi-bin, create a directory called, dada.

I then tried to use WS_FTP LE and it doesn't show numbers. It only shows this:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.natalie-brown.com/tempimages/wsftp.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br />It also says beside the CHMOD function (UNIX)<br /><br />Is there a better FTP program that will enable me to CHMOD the script?<br /><br />Thanks for any help you can give.<br /><br />Nat<!--content-->
Hey Nat, yes.. there is a better FTP client, try downloading SmartFTP. In SmartFTP all you should have to do is right click the file you want to change the permission of, go down to "Properties/CHMOD" and you can type the number or check the boxes.. whichever suits your fancy. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Hope it works out for you!<!--content-->
Mitch!<br /><br />SmartFTP worked like a charm! I am CHMODED and ready 2 roll.<br /><br />This Dada program is wonderful!<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who helped out and got me going on this.<br /><br />What would I do without you guys?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />Nat<!--content-->
