I'm installing something and I dont understand what this means?

"Now CHMOD the /arcade directory and all its subfolders to 0777 "

I'm installing an arcade and its telling me to do this...

how do i do that?

Use whatever FTP program you use and in most cases you can right-click on the arcade folder and something like "Properties" or "File Attributes" should be in the list. Click on that and you should be able to CHMOD the file to 0777, which simple means that your making the file readable, writable and executable.

when you upload a file or directory, you can select its accessibility... chmod means "who can access it and how"... your ftp editor can handle it... depend on your software... so you will have to read the Docs!

Darn it...

I fixed that...

and I (thought I) installed everything as listed in the directions, but when I click on the "Arcade" tab on my page, this comes up.

Are there any experts here who can help me with a paypal donation?

If your installing ibProArcade for vBulletin, then you can simply post a thread in the ibProArcade support section here on vBulleting.org and see what MrZeroPage has to say about it. If it's some other arcade system, you should ask in that respective thread.

The page is a 500 internal server error, please chk if you have a htaccess file in the directory that the arcade.php file resides in, post the contents of your htaccess file here.

If it's ibProArcade, you don't actually need it at that permission, and 755 will do just fine. In many FTP programs (Read FileZilla), right click the folder and change permissions via the option.
