Newbie specific installation question.

[alex2012]

Hey folks,

Part of the install process here -

(also known as “CHMOD 777” – explanation of file permissions here) but do not apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /config, /upload, /download, /tools/smarty/compile. Then make sure the following folders have ‘write’ permissions and apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations

So after install do I remove CHMOD777 or keep it? Write persmissions means read and write for public without execute? What is the CHMOD for that?

If 777 have to be kept to operate store how safe is it to have certain directories open to public execute?

I want it to be right fist time


Regards,

Alex.

I leave them after that , i dont think it is risky since the group ownership is me and not everybody.
it is best to use phpsuexec then 777 wont be needed
google that

first 1 merci

I have installed 1 shop works fine. I have applied chmod to subfolders but not files. Is that the way to do it? And 777 included public not only owner and group. Ok to activate a script one would need to upload it somehow first, however some of the presta shops scripts can have vulnerabilites.

Perhaps of the developers can comment here as I believe many are interested to know the answer.

phpsuexec hmm I will have a look at it.

OK. I put all files permission to 644 and all directories permissions to 755. Works fine.
