Help!
I want to install the Beta version of vBulletin, and am having problems with permissions.
I've extracted the files from the Zip file, and the rightmost 6 bits of the file permissions are all 0. For example, the directories are 700. This causes problems when I try to access the files through a URL at the web site. I really don't want to try to guess what the permission of each file in the vBulletin distribution should be. What do I do?
The machine that I downloaded to (not the server) is running Cygwin (under Windows XP). The file that I downloaded from the members area of the vBulletin site was a Zip file. There didn't seem to be any way to get anything other than a Zip file. Does the members area of the vBulletin site give different files depending on what kind of OS it thinks the download is going to? I wonder if (a) the vBulletin file permissions were tested in a Cygwin or Windows environment, and (b) if I had a way to download a tar file instead of a ZIP file, that might provide a workaround.
