Choosing phpbb instead of punbb is not an intelligent choice.

I beg to differ, punbb has been around for a considerable amount of time already. But why is it that top internet marketers like associate programs, xsitepro and Rosalind Gardner use phpbb instead?

Besides punbb has no profile option to enable notification of replies by email automatically for every post. And what the heck is subscribe to this topic? I didn't know what is was at first until I realised it means receive replies by email. Why can't punbb use familiar terms that everyone understands?

Thanks togs.

Anyways I've decided to go with phpbb since their installation instructions are more specific about the read/write/execute specifications for all settings.

Change the permissions on config.php to be writeable by all (666 or -rw-rw-rw- within your FTP Client)

Change the permissions on config.php to be writeable only by yourself (644 or -rw-r--r-- within your FTP Client)

Now that's what I call intelligent instructions.

Obiviously people like ludo wouldn't understand that. Anyway I'm done here.

It is not an intelligent answer. Look at my topic title.

Get it? This is ridiculous.

If answering what you want means giving the same answers that have already existed before that I could find myself, then I don't need to waste my time here at all.

Come on don't give me such an answer. You should be able to tell that I already know such an obvious thing. Please I need a more intelligent reply.

I want to know how does punbb use each of those configurations specifically.

I want to know what are the owner, group and public read, write execute options SUPPOSED TO BE for punbb, and WHY for each one.

I see so many post talking about chmoding the cache directory to 777.
But that is NOT good enough an answer.

What I WANT to know is, what are the owner, group and public permissions?

Each for Read Write Execute.

Knowing the answer to this, then I can select the appropriate boxes.

It is really neccessary to enable permision for everything with 777?

What is public read and execute permission for? Isn't write permission enough for avatars and cache directory?
