File Permission problem:

[klane]

I've installed Xampp but i'm having problems changing the file permissions to what i need them to (666 etc.) i've been connecting to my localhost via my ftp client but when it comes to changing them it will not do so what so ever, is there a reason? do i need to change something in a file somewhere to allow me to do so? any help would be greatful.

thanks, Klane.

Windows does not use permissions.

i know that, but i can't write to file unless its set to a certain thing, so how do i by pass that in windows?

That's usually handled with account settings on the ftp server on Windows servers.

Right click on files you want to write to and un-select Read-only option

Than you have made this on a directory and not on files.

BTW:
There is no need to make special permissions on Windows like on *nix for scripts.

Files are unchecked which is fine but folders are not. Im trying to do this because it gives me:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\includes\application_top.php:275) in C:\xampp\htdocs\includes\application_top.php on line 275

Right, that's the normal and documented Windows behaviour.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\includes\application_top.php:275)

Then you have an error in your script, like the error message told you.

Read the PHP-Manual about sessions and header:
You can not send a header (like a session cookie), if there was allready an output in your script.
