After running the upgrade.php scripts we got the following error:

Checking if SQL permissions to perform the upgrade are avaliable
Disable the forum
Forum is now disabled
Beginning the file upgrade process

Warning: mkdir(/mkdir/xampp/FUDforum/errors/.backup): Permission denied in /opt/xampp/htdocs/upgrade.php on line 622

Warning: mkdir(/mkdir/xampp/FUDforum/errors): File exists in /opt/xampp/htdocs/upgrade.php on line 622

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /opt/xampp/htdocs/upgrade.php on line 700

Couldn't open "/opt/xampp/FUDforum/cache/cat_cache.inc" for write

I figured that the webserver does not have permission to write to the FUDforum directory. After change the permissions of the FUDforum directory the files were able to be created but I did notice one thing the upgrade script does, it creates the file then sends data to it. This does not happen because when the files are created it is a read only file, when we change the permissions to write it's okay. After running the script again we get:

Checking if SQL permissions to perform the upgrade are avaliable

If those are the only errors you've received things should be fine. Ideally however you want to make sure that the directories and files mentioned in the error messages are writable by the web server user.

The directory and files are all writable to the webserver, why is it that when new files are created by the upgrade.php script it is created as a read only files that is our problem. How can we by pass that?

If you unlock the files in the admin control panel before running the upgrade script, this won't happen.

The forum's files where unlocked. But I clicked on unlocked
again and now I can not view anything my browser, it is blank. If I try to run the upgrade scripts it says the following message:

No permission to read/write to /opt/xampp/htdocs /GLOBALS.php. Please make sure this script had write access to all of the forum files.

I was able to upgrade our FUDforum to 2.7.5.
Inorder for the upgrade to take place I had to modify root's
.cshrc files (umask 027) to allow root to create writable files.
Also I had to change the ownership of htdocs dir, FUDforum dir. and everything in it to nobody:nogroup since apache is running as nobody:nogroup. I modified permissions to all .sql and .tbl files within sql, changes were made to thm/default/i18n/*/msg and chineses/charset /chineses/locale, path_info dir, etc..(all these files had read only permission) I guess my next question is what permissions should these directories and files be since it seems I have the wrong permissions and ownership.

Thanks

FUDforum files should ideally be owned by the webserver user/group and have 0600 permissions for files and 0700 for directories.

I did not test the upgrade on our production machine but on a test box I changed the permissions to what they should be ran the upgrade and after completion when I went to the forum I just get a blank page. What caused that?

Have you tried checking your PHP's error log? What is the permission of the index.php file?
