I'm trying to build a simple website that only I have to access, and I'm trying to install MyBB. To do this, certain files need permissions to do stuff within one another as described by the installer (opened through localhost/forums/install in my browser).
How do I change the permissions, and make it so that they stay like I configured them?
I've tried using FileZilla, but the option to change it doesn't come up.
I've tried using the attrib command in command prompt (opened as admin), but that doesn't work either.
My user on my PC has administrator privileges. (It's the only user)
Hi,
with Filezilla you could do it. Check these how-to:

Your computer is running windows ? I'm not sure you have to change any permission.

"I've tried using FileZilla, but the option to change it doesn't come up." -Me, today, OP.

Apparently I do (See attachment)
So try using the windows explorer, right-click the files/folder and uncheck the "readonly" attribute.
but that's weird, I didn't remember that windows applies that when files are coming from zip file.

I have already tried that, it doesn't work. It constantly reverts to read-only. Command prompt doesn't work either.
Ok...
let's see other things, software you're using? (Xampp, Wamp, etc.)
directory where the installation is?
version of your windows?
Could you access PhpMyAdmin (for example) without any problem?

I'm using IIS
The MyBB install location is in C:\inetpub\Website1\forums\install
I'm using Windows 10
I don't have PhpMyAdmin.
