taghosting Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I have a real problem which i can't sort out. The admin area of the site will not show the pictures to the items in the database. They are fortunately displayed on the customer side. The CHMOD is set to 777 for all the directories. The icon hover over description and the file name are displayed correctly but no picture. Bit strange anyone had this? How do I correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The CHMOD is set to 777 for all the directories. A word of advice - That is a huge mistake. With a folder at 777 permissions (even behind a .htaccess file in your admin) it's only a matter of time until your shop gets hacked. :o It's only a question of "when?" and "how bad will it be?" No web accessible folder should have permissions higher than 755 :blush: If you value your store and the time/money/work you've put into it, you should change permissions ASAP. There are web robots that crawl the web 24/7/365 just looking for things like that. Don't let yourself become their next victim. ;) If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

taghosting Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 I did the 777 just to prove that there was no problems. The chmod is now back to 755 and 644 for config files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
