This is a problem of your misconfigured FTP server, you should
tell them Now you might try via PHP, but I think you have 20% of
chances to get it done.
Make a script called
"fixer.php" for example in your root Drake CMS folder
(same folder of "core.php", "version.php etc.) and
put in it this content:
Code:
<?php
$folder = 'lang/de/';
define('_VALID_ADMIN', 1);
require
'core.php';
require $d_root.'includes/header.php';
include $d_root.'admin/classes/fs.php';
$fs =
new FS(false);
if ($fs->chmod($d_root.$folder,
0777)) echo "Permissions of folder $folder were
changed successfully";
?>
Then go to www.example.com/fixer.php where your file is
published and see the result. If it works, there will be no
error.
NOTE: be sure to be logged in and to set your
language to English before executing fixer.php, otherwise it will
fail if the lang/de/language.xml file still exists.

I had the same problem with a lots of different folders. (on
HostGator) I also had to terminate 2 domains to clean these
folders and files but didnt understand why.
Now I'll
test this script butI want to ask a thing. I got 4 crashes with
drake and the last was on a whole clean, default, newly installed
one.
Can it be also related with this cos this problem
seems causes problem about ACCESS or WRITE of files. And all my
failures was about database problem (gladio)
So can it
be?

I have had success using this little utility when issues have
arisen with folder and file deletions due to owner issues..
and yes dir and file permissions
make a up a large area in relation to install issues.

How went the install process? Did it complain about write
permissions? If it did not (and looks like it did not), then they
might be bugs related to Gladius DB only - not necessarily to
file write permissions.
If you can test locally, say
if the bugs also happen locally; I have also asked you to test
with the latest SVN on the bug tracker items.
Thanks

Your script looks good, but I have only
the lang /de folder there, the rest I deletet succesful.
Well and the root folder of lang/de (drake) has all
permissions (777).
@trex1512 This Webamidn sript
is best... but is there a way to protect it with a passowrd,
because everyone whokinows about the script could delete my
website...:woohoo: And everyone could acces the server
folders of my hoster... ( i looked around with the webadmin and
saw this)
So, it would be nice to protect it with a
password...

No...I just upload it, use it then delete it as required...
Otherwise, rename and change permissions on the file when
not in use...

This script solved my problems. Didnt try the webadmin
yet but I'll. _______________________________ I also
test the latest beta but the gladio database didnt activated (in
red) during install and I quit. Server is same that I use
the version 0.4.2_rev3309 and install is run by veloce and manuel
extract (2 try) _______________________________
So lets turn back to current release.
I didnt get
any errors during install but after install I saw that the
permissions (so execute and write functions) go unstable. Making
weird permissions that I didnt gave. I also cant delete or change
CHMOD of these folders.
After your reply I tried the
script above and saw it's working. Then I contact to hostgator
for this issue and they told that they fixed. And they really do
but I was bored to face several crashes thats why I move the
drake and translating operations to localhost.
Now it
seems fine. Didnt crashed. Keeps going. After translation
completes I'll move it back to remote host again and test.
And a guess over my crashes. Can it be happened cos of
write permissions to database? Cos when I try to install over
(without deleting the old folder) it gives error of permissions
when creating database.
So if it is (hope it is) why
drake dosent give a warning that there is a problem of
permissions istead of crashing. And is that possible stop
operatins in case of unreachable database.
Shorlty I
mean that drake crashes and dosent turns back even the
permissions given again. So drake damages it's database by
itself.
But it will be better to stop operations in
case of permissions so people dont lost their sites. They'll just
fix mods and keep going again.
Possible? Regards

See my post how the host/server apache process takes ownership of
the files....you are then blocked by the permissions from
altering what the "owner" has set..
I am
sure there are some linux/apache gurus here who can explain it
far far better than I can...
Its why the scripts and
webadmin.php work, they are server processes...like the original
"owner" process

It's a
misconfigured FTP/PHP/Apache that they have, I think

Theorically, one could acceed the
admin backend and use the file manager component to delete things
that cannot be deleted by FTP

It is red when PHP is below
v4.3.3 or when the folder is not writable; I think that the
folder was not writable in this case.
Why did you have
to run veloce twice?

Is it
because of Veloce? The latest version (available here) should no
more make troubles with misconfigured PHP installations.
Or is it a problem of Gladius DB files?

It's suggested to translate locally;
however, if the problem was generated by Veloce, it is not a
major issue and Gladius DB should work there too.

Quite

What does the crash show? Do you have an error dump?

Please tell us how it crashed; Drake CMS does not damage its
database, it (recursively) tries to set permissions to 0775 to
all folders if they were not writable. I don't know about
alternative solutions...maybe we cannot use PHP's chmod because
it is broken on some hosts?
