Purplerainbow.co.uk Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Watching a 3 year old tut on how to install oscommerce at this moment but its telling me to use 777 persmissions etc, I've getting a bit confussed cos it also says this in the documentation but on here you all seem to change them all to a different setting. Can someone please explain to me the correct setting and how to secure the shop (its just a test shop i'm learning.) Also, i take it hackers can only change the shop in my server nothing more?

Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Benjamin, The tutorial is wrong ! Directory permissions should be 705 or 755 and files should be 604 or 644 EXCEPT for the two configure.php files which should be set to 444.

Purplerainbow.co.uk Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi DubWeb, It's not just the videos (they are 3 years old so thought they were incorret anyway) but the documentation.pdf file on this site and in the zip file suggest that same. so if its a folder 755 and files 644 is is i'll change the configs to 444 also. Thank you for clearing that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
