Hi
I have used some hosting accounts where folders are set to 755 permissions and files 644 but both the Web interface user and the CMS/Forum etc scripts have write permissions. As and example, I as the Web user can write to the root of my web account via the cpanel File manager as expected but scripts such as Joomla! and phpBB also have write permissions with the 755/644 settings.
Does anyone know how this is done or what tool is used to accomplish this on an Apache/PHP server?
Regards |

*nix: chmod is the command
Win*: Not needed since Windows does not have file permissions. |

Maybe you misunderstood my post. I was not refering to changing permissions but the condition where directories are set to 755 and files to 644 but both the user of the web account and the web scripts have write access to the web root without chmoding files and folders to 777 or 775.
I just want to find out how these hosting providers accomplish this while some others require that files and directories be chmoded to 777 or 775 for some web scripts to work. |
