Writable file and folders

Software Support
1

In the instruction for installation it is stated

Make the following files and directories (and their contents)
writeable (i.e., by changing the owner or permissions with chown or
chmod):

   * config.inc.php (optional -- if not writable you will be prompted
     to manually overwrite this file during installation)
   * public
   * cache
   * cache/t_cache
   * cache/t_config
   * cache/t_compile
   * cache/_db

Is it possible to give this instruction in The Octal 0755 or 0775 or 0777? Which one should it be?
Am I suppose to make them unsuitable after installation again?

Hi @Dilan_Rostam,

You’ll have to consider file ownership, not just numeric permissions. See this FAQ entry on file permissions.

777 permissions are never safe to use, and shouldn’t ever be needed.
