Topic: Typical location and permissions of sqlite database file?

Hello,
I'm not familiar with SQLite and I'm getting permissions related errors when I attempt to install punBB.

Gotten this far:
An error occured on line 427 in file /Users/bebop/Sites/p/testpun/install.php.

PunBB reported: Unable to create table bans. Please check your settings and try again.

Database reported: unable to open database file (Errno: 14)

Attempting to let punBB create the file fails altogether with a permissions error. I've tried creating the file manually with the permission indicated in the install script. No luck.
Where would this file typically be placed, what permissions, name, etc.

Re: Typical location and permissions of sqlite database file?

You should place it outside your public_html directory. What name you give it doesn't matter and as far as permissions go, just make sure that the user running the webserver (usually nobody) has permissions to read and write to it.
