Dolphin 6.1 file permissions - made easy....woo hoo!

Here are 2 files that'll speed up your installation by about 200%........not sure if anyone else has done this already but I thought I should post it just in case.

Right.........first of all get yourself a little bit of software called putty.exe as you'll need it or something like it to enter the following text files.

Copy and paste the following into notepad and call it something like chmodpreinstall61.txt and dump it in the root along with all your installation files.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using Putty, navigate to where the file is and type:

bash chmodpreinstall61.txt

Hit <Enter> and watch how quickly the file permissions change and how much time you have just saved.

Click next on your Dolphin install and you should have all green ticks.

Once you are near the end of your installation you have to change some file permissions back to a more secure level so get ready to make another file using notepad and call it chmodpostinstall61.txt using the following text:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

chmod 755 inc/ periodic/
chmod 644 periodic/cmd.php periodic/notifies.php periodic/cupid.php
chmod 644 ray/modules/global/inc/header.inc.php

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hardly worth it but hey...........it doesn't hurt.  Go to the same place as before using Putty and type in:

bash chmodpostinstall61.txt

then hit <Enter>

It may seem as though nothing has happened but it has. Check the permissions have gone back to what they should be via the Dolphin installation and remember to exit out of Putty.

And voila, a speedier installation.

There's a zipped folder with the 2 text files for those in a reaaaaaaaally big hurry!

Hope that helps...............see ya!
