Has anybody put together or point me in the right direction for a definitive checklist for the final permissions for the files and folders.

 

Thanks :?:

Admin:

 

/includes/configure.php 777 then change back to 644 after install

/backups/ 777

 

Every other file 644 <-does this automatically

Every other directory 755 <-does this automatically

 

Catalog:

 

/includes/configure.php 777 then change back to 644 after install

/images/ 777

/includes/languages/<country>.php all 777

/includes/languages/<country>/ every file in here 777

 

Every other file 644 <-does this automatically

Every other directory 755 <-does this automatically

 

 

Thats about it I think. Off top of my head so if anyone wants to add more...

add an .htaccess file to the admin dir immediately if live server :)

Thanks for the listing.

Yes I had already added password protection to the admin folder.

Once again thanks to both of you.

what does that file (.htaccess) do?

can some one tell me? where do i get the file and add it in?

The .htaccess essentially allows you to password protect files & folders.

You create the .htaccess file in the directory you want to protect and then allocate a password file using the .htpasswd command.

Here is a link that may help:- http://faq.clever.net/htaccess.htm
