phpbb forum error troubleshooting

SoftException in Application.cpp:252: File

"/home/mysite/public_html/myforum/install/index.php" is writeable by group

SoftException in Application.cpp:252: File is writeable by group
If you're getting this error then it is related to not having a file chmod'ed to

0755.
Simply change the permissions on the file to 755.
You do not need the file or folder permissions to be 777

SoftException in Application.cpp:544: Directory

"/home/mysite/public_html/myforum/install" is writeable by group, referer:
It "suggests" that "777" be the permissions-mask, but that's only a suggestion,

since some servers prohibit such a high level. You may find that your server

allows only a max of 755.

I checked the directory location from the 500 error, and I saw that it’s

permissions were 777, world writable. I changed the directories permissions to

755, and Apache was happy again and let the code run.

Simple as that. My new Apache install won’t run code that is in a public folder.

This is a good thing for sure. If you are having issues like I was, check your

permissions, and be careful what is 777!


403.shtml, referer:
Well the actual error is the 403 error. The 404 error is because it's trying to load an error page to show like error.html but it can't find one.
