File/folder permissions OJS 3.02

Hi @vvucic

There is a recommended file permission setting on this thread:

How should file permissions be set?

Dear everyone, I have been searching this subject for a few days but could not get a straight forward answer. While installation of OJS, the permission of config file, Public folder and chache folder is set to 777. What should be the permission of these files/folders once the installation is complete. Regards @anupent

But I will paste a summarize version bellow:

@ctgraham

The ownership of the other non-web-writable directories should be your user, with either the web user’s group, or with public execute permissions. For example:
myuser:www-data with 750
or
myuser:ourgroup with 755.

Web-writable files would be the same, but without the execute permission:
apache:www-data with 640

Non-web-writable files would be perhaps:
myuser:www-data with 640
or
myuser:ourgroup with 644

And you are right, don’t chmod production environment with 777, it is unsafe.

Best

Israel
