Oh wonderful
the following folders must have 777 permissions set recursively:
ow_pluginfiles
ow_userfiles
ow_static
and also ow_smarty/template_c just the template_c folder
there are all kinds of combinations but basically when you first set up a server
folder are default 0755
htaccess files are 0644
some files are 0644 and some files are other values
are some are 0777
777 is full permission to read write and execute
and it goes down from there
here is a simple short video i wish i could find a better one but all the rest seem to be from people that have such bad dialects i cant understand them.
