Chmoding On Windows (apache) ? Howto ?

Kushika
Hi, I've recently installed Apache 1.3.34 on my Windows XP machine. Does anyone know how to CMOD files to specific values? I've read somewhere that if you set the file to 'readable' that is the equivalent of CHMODing it to 777...is this true?

By the way, sorry if this is in the wrong forum section. I wasn't really sure where to put this.

You can't... chmoding is a Linux/Unix thing because Linux/Unix work all around file permissions.

Windows dosen't use file permissions like in Unix so you don't need to do anything. When the script executes, if it opens and writes to a file, it'll do that without anything in Windows, but will require CHMOD of 777 on Unix.

I've run plenty of scripts that require to be chmoded on UNIX to 777 and I haven't touched any file settings in Windows. Where did you read that you had to set the file to readable?

I can't remeber where I read that...I think it was at another forum. On windows you can check the 'read-only' box in the 'Properties' dialog box. I'm not sure if this would affect anything though...

CHMODing as someone said is impossible.

On Windows, you don't need to because Folders usually have no security implemented on default.

If someone did implement a folder lock, then simply right click the folder --> properties --> permissions.

Don't worry about permissions on Windows it doesn't use them all files on your Windows Apache web folder most likely htdocs are chmod 777 (not really but they are treated the same). Unless you click a file and change its properties to read only or hidden (the only options except for advanced option of indexing it or archiving it) then you should have no problems with file permissions those are unix or linux only.

    Windows still worked after that. I always thought that fdisk would corrupt the Windows partition
    somehow since it was a destructive partitioning tool. So I have always used Partition Magic instead
    for my partitioning needs. If I install Linux on a separate partition and decide to get rid of it

  16. Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
    Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (19)
    I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
    renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
    Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
    the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
    when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
    I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but....
  17. The Best Version Of Windows

    users are in love with Win98SE for some reason? Is there any justification behind this? I mean
    this is a version of Windows that is definitely not supported anymore, but is the security and
    stability of this version that much better where it doesn't need support? Personally, I really
    like Win2000 over any other version. It seems more secure and stable, and I'm pr....
