[FLOW3-general] Install Problem - setfilepermissions does not work

[Daniel Felix]

Hello, 

I had the same problem some time ago. 
I tried to set the file permission on Ubuntu 10.4 lts. 
I tried it nearly 10 times with different settings. 
But sometimes the batch crashed and sometimes it runs throw but the permissions weren't set correctly. 

I fixed it for me this way:
Setting permissions to 777 and make my web server to the owner.
On my test server:
cd /path/to/flow3
chmod -R 777 *
chown -R www-data:www-data

After this was done I executed the servile permissions. 
It seems that those script couldn't handle it if it hasn't full acces to all files. It doesn't throw any error. 

By the way make sure that your system allows php to execute commands on the shell. 

Hope this could help you?

Best regards,
Daniel
