file permissions signlog.php

you need to set your file permissions correctly. Cannot open file: plugins/SignLogger/list/signlog.php

But it doesn't say which permissions it needs. ;)

    Take a look at the source, because you can find the exact PHP code that shows this message ... my first guess is 644

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    signlog.php has to be readable and writeable.

    a good rule of thumb would be for it to match the permissions of config.php

    since this depends entirely on your host setup. Perhaps this will help you @‌

    if you have any additional links that may be useful to newbies or a complete accurate tutorial that you have written up @anonymoose you want me to add to the documentation, feel free to post it.

    Isn't it a slight risk to have a log file also an excutable .php file?

    First off, what issue do you have? there is usually not a solution to an unknown issue.

    me-too's are really not too helpful.

    did you ask your host, if you do not understand file permissions? or the readme that has suggestions on how you might learn about them.

    the readme has a link for a file permissions tutorial for forum owners who do not quite understand file permissions.

    To me, "Understanding file permissions and Ownerships" is the first thing anyone should know and understand prior to creating any kind of web site whether it be a blog or forum or anything else, or they should hire someone who does. Otherwise your data or site could be at risk. Alot of people comprehend permissions owner group other, but they fail to understand owner.

    Here is another link, since a few people still don't uinderstand:

    @peregrine‌ sorry for the delay but I'm not getting email notifications. In my local server the permissions are correct, it was the first thing to check when I saw the error, I changed the permissions for all reading and to the owners of the file and have the same error ... leave that matter aside for the moment while others solve problems and finish the website template.
