    • Is there a list of the CHMOD directory permissions.

    Posted by Dubsy posts: 35

    I was wondering if there is a document (I have searched but not come up with anything) which lists what the CHMOD file directory permissions should be for the files on the server.

    I seem to have some directory permission issues and believe the only solution is to go through all the directories and do the CHMOD manually. I can't upload files or save particular documents like the newsletters because of the problem.

    I've already contacted the server provider as I was getting a lot of blank pages which were coming up with 404 errors - but they've said they have "fixed" the problem now - don't know what they did.......

    There used to be in the documentation but I just had a brief look and I can't seem to find it. I have an old, old list that might point you in the right direction, but be warned this is not current for 3.3 or 5.3 so use at your discretion (some of these folders don't even exist anymore!).

    Folder
    Parent folder Perms
    Child Folder Perms
    file Perms

    *except trackers, wiki and wiki_up which are 777
    **except cache which is 777

    You might be able to get away with 775 instead of 777.

    As a last ditch effort if these permission don't work then try setting all folders to 775 (or 777 if you absolutely must) and all files to 644.

    Xavi and co, do you see any value in putting this table in the documentation somewhere?

    Thanks I might give it a go... though at this point I'm on the verge of removing the current install and going back to the back up of 2.4 as I'm coming across too many bugs in 5.1 and just not enough documentation to help.
