I have a site that currently uses Create a Click scripts. I moved hosting and transferred the files and now barely anything is working!

I know it has to do with what permissions are set for things, but there are so many files, I don't even know where to begin on setting permissions, and what is even correct!

Can anyone give a quick summary of what needs to be set to what? I know how to set the permissions and at least have something other than a 500 error displaying, but I can't get much else right now.

I know most things need to be set to 755 and userdata to 777 and data to 777, but not sure what else I missed. I am mostly going through and at least making sure everything is at 755 right now through my cpanel.

Many thanks in advance if anyone can help here!

Who did you purchase your script form? Do they not provide support?

Mine is from tycoon productions and they handle all this type of stuff for me.

I purchased it right from the create-a-click site, and they haven't been good about support lately (asked not long ago about a server downtime, and got no response).

I fixed the major problem now at least, but still not sure if I got all the permissions correct.

Create-a-click is notorious for having very bad support.

Installation Directions (clean install)

Check with your hosting company if they have Turck MMCache installed. If not, ask them to download and install it from this page:
http://turck-mmcache.sourceforge.net/#download
Upload all files and folders with your favorite ftp program to your server. (all textfiles/php files in ascii mode, images, .cygp.php and .main.php in binary mode.)
Chmod 777 the file .htconfig.php in the lib folder and db.sql in the main folder. (It is possible that the folder lib is empty. In that case configure your ftp program to view hidden files.) (do this before you run the installer!)
Go to www.yoursite.com/install.php and follow instructions on your screen.
Delete the files "install.php" and "db.sql".
Chmod 644 the file .htconfig.php in the folder lib again.
Chmod 777 all files in the folder templates and it's subfolders.
Chmod 777 the cache folder.

WARNING - If you want to use database backup/restore you have to create a new folder e.g. "db_backup" and chmod it to 777. You should upload it before the www or public_html folder so you can't access it with a browser. If you can't do that you should place a .htaccess file in the db_backup folder. Then download the .htconfig.php file and open it in your favorite text editor and change the following line:
define ( '_BACKUP_PATH', _BASE_PATH . 'db_backup/' );
WARNING - If you want to use log files you have to create a new folder e.g. "logs" and chmod it to 777. You should upload it before the www or public_html folder so you can't access it with a browser. If you can't do that you should place a .htaccess

file in the db_backup folder. Then download the .htconfig.php file and open it in your favorite text editor and change the following line:
define ( '_LOGFILES_PATH', _BASE_PATH . 'logs/' );
WARNING - To make your administration panel 100% secure we have setup a tutorial for you. You can go to the tutorial by clicking here.
Log in on your program with the "operator" account. Then go to the administration by clicking on the "administration" link below, next to "advertise", "terms", "privacy" etc and click on "site configuration". There you can set up the configuration of your program.
If you want to make your program a lot faster you can enable cronjobs. (highly recommended) For more information about this issue please visit our support pages.
The program is now ready for use! If you want more information about running a "getpaid" program, please click here.

Well, at the very least it sure did help me to know the permission levels and where they need to be at so I don't allow too much access that hackers can have fun, and too little and my members throw a fit!

I also had a nice member contact me and offered to test links and such, seems to be working on both our ends.

But thanks so much for all the help, at least my site is running again so my members aren't wanting to strangle me! Having a 500 server error is never fun, especially when you have a referral contest going and members have active ads still.
