[SOLVED] Debian 9.1 Set Chmod 777 to 2 files while it is not working

Issue

I am trying to setup cryptodice, but to so the setup, I need on 2 files chmod 777! Well, those 2 files are: inc/db-conf.php and inc/driver-conf.php!

So I executed this command: find /CryptoDice -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \; this should set every file in the directory to chmod 777. But when I reload te page. It still says that it is not write able. How can I fix this?

I know that it is not good to have that chmod 777. I would like to set that to the default again after the install, so it will be secure again.

How can I fix this?

Solution

From the install instructions at: https://github.com/felinegambler/CryptoDice

3) Change to the inc/ directory and change the permissions to 777 (chmod 777 *)

You could simply do something like the following:

$ chmod 777 inc/db-conf.php
$ chmod 777 inc/driver-conf.php
