    I got to the setup part and it says permissions must be changed.
    The instructions do not say how to change them. I'm on ubuntu 10.04.

    amember is in var/www/

    could someone explain how to do this?

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Can you use FTP? Usually you can right click on the folder and then change permissions.

    What ftp client you use? Or do you use ssh in order to access server?

    more info

    I installed the trial on osx using mamp --dragging the amember download into htdocs it works great -- after struggling with the ioncube and zend decoders.

    On another machine --ubuntu. I tried the same thing but it gave me permission errors. Ubuntu has the gui -- and I can go into the folders and try to change permissions using the graphical user interface -- but it doesn't seem to hold or do anything.

    I am user userdan on the system. Can you tell me the command line statement I would use to set the permissions? if the folders are in
    /var/www/amember

    Thanks

    sudo chmod 777 var/www/amember/data -R
    and the same for
    templates-c
