File Permissions

[big_z]

OK last step before going live -

 

I have all my files (except config.php) set with 777 permissions. I did this during development to make things easier.

 

Now that I am done... does anyone suggest changing the permissions on the files to 444 ??

 

I know there must be some files that need at lease read and write authority.. but I don't know which ones.

 

Any suggestions on changing file permissions?

 

Thanks!

The information about installation permissions is in these installation documents.

 

I don't know that I'd have given all files the sort of permission you did... As to what files need to be able to read and write, well, ...

 

Rename the catalog/install folder or delete it.

Reset the permissions on /catalog/includes/configure.php to 644 (if you are still getting the warning message at the top set configure.php to 444 which is read only - this happens on some servers that have been updated for security reasons).

Set the permissions on /catalog/images directory to 777

Reset the permissions on /admin/includes/configure.php to 644

Create the dir /admin/backups and set the permissions to 777

Set the permissions on /admin/images/graphs directory to 777

 

But that doesn't begin to address all the other files you changed. Hmm.
