Dalma Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have a site that I'm about to put into production. This is being hosted on our own Ubuntu 9.10 Linux server. I'm concerned about possible security issues related to the 777 permissions required on some directories. I have learned that the mechanism used to combat this is suexec or phpexec. I'm confused about the process for installing either of these. I have read that suexec does not work with php, this leaves me a bit confused espcially after reading that I should add this. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Dale, You should NOT have any directories with 777 permissions ! Directories 755 Most files 644 Configure.php files 444 Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadcloman Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 You should NOT have any directories with 777 permissions! That's a nice sentiment, but in reality osCommerce requires write access to certain directories -- and depending upon your hosting situation, the only way to do that may be to give xx7 access. So your response is not helpful. Perhaps you could respond to the original question about suexec and phpexec? Check out Chad's News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
