File attributes/permissions are only changeable on a Linux/Unix system. The web server (in this case Abyss) does not have anything to do with file permissions and cannot change file permissions itself.
The most common way of changing file permissions is via FTP if the server is remote. If the server is local and is a *nix system you can enter a console and type
| Code: |
cd /directory/of/file
chmod 777 filename
|
You must of course cd to the correct directory and replace filename with the correct filename.
If your server is a Windows server then you cannot change file permission to '777'. What you need to do is make the file writeable and hope that the script will realize it. |

Hello edmunds--
What E-Oreo says is true. If you are on a windows machine, all your files will be writeable by default unless you click properties and check the box marked "read only."
In other words, when installing scripts simply ignore the chmod directions. They will all be writeable by default.
