flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe Non-Executable

I'm not sure if I'm getting this (flash/modules/global/app/ffmpeg.exe Non-Executable) while installing because of a file I need to edit or if it's with my hosting (which i've also submitted a ticket there), but if someone has some insight as to what the challenge is I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance =)

So I got this back from my hosting company, but it is like greek to me, so again, I would appreciate any help you may be able to give me =)

instant ffmpeg installer/ vidiscript/ phpmotion Hello,

Thank you for your message.

All of the utilities needed and required for a video sharing website are already preinstalled on our servers. You may configure your script using the following information so that your site can encode video properly, these are all the utilities preinstalled on the server that can encode video. You may check for an application by referencing by it's name, example, if you're looking for FFMPEG, then you would use the following path: /usr/local/cpffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg

/usr/local/vencode/bin/wmf2gd
/usr/local/vencode/bin/testrb
/usr/local/vencode/bin/wmf2eps
/usr/local/vencode/bin/lame
/usr/local/vencode/bin/fc-list
/usr/local/vencode/bin/ffmpeg
/usr/local/vencode/bin/gem
/usr/local/vencode/bin/yasm
/usr/local/vencode/bin/libwmf-

Dolphin includes a ffmpeg binary for Linux in the form of ffmpeg.exe, meaning you do not need to configure the path for it, since the script already has a working copy. The issue you are having ("Non Executable") is due to the lack of sufficient permissions for the binary, which should be the following, depending on your web server configuration:

SuPHP: 755

Other PHP: 777

Your web hosting provider must also allow the executing of files. Since this company apparently provides solutions for video sharing scripts, you should not encounter this issue.

Thank you so much for the response.

I guess I'm not really sure what the problem is then if it should be good on both ends.

When you say permission problem, do you mean like a permission for a file or folder I FTP'd (In that case what file or folder do I need to change permissions for?)  Or a permission with something internal that has to do with the hosting company (in which case, what do I tell them/ask them to do?)

What do you suggest I do to resolve this?

Thanks again =)

By "you should not encounter this issue," I was referring to the issue involving the executing of files. I am referring to the need to change the permission for the ffmpeg binary (ffmpeg.exe), which you must change to either of the two permission levels, depending on your web server configuration as outlined above.

You can change the permission level from either FTP or SSH, depending on your preferences. Since the binary is provided with the script itself, and not located in a non-accessible area of the web server, you do not need to ask your web hosting company to change the permission level for you.

Thanks so much!  You're awesome.

had to reread a few times (obviously not as on the up and up on this stuff yet...) so just in case anyone else has this challenge I did it by ftp with the path: flash/modules/global/app/ and then 755'd the ffmpeg.exe

Thanks again!  I'm so excited to start using this!

Russell =)

I Having the same issue, i change the permission to 777 and 775 and also played around with different permission and none of it work
is there any other way to fix this.
