Why does PrestaShop require file permissions 0755

[Allan C]

Why is it that PrestaShop needs to have the 755 file attribute as this allows security issues with the server?

 

Is this for just the installation?

recommended 755 is for folders, 644 for individual files,  664 for .htaccess

HI Thanks for the info all I get from my hosting is

 

"If we allow you to use 755 for your permissions, anyone would be able to execute on your files and this will lead to a security breach for your files and hostings so our engineers won't allow this."

 

So no idea, they say they will look at the installation but I am not sure if there is a get around?

 

Cheers

if the group owner (typically your domain name) is set, then there would not be issue.  These are very standard settings for PS and shops.  If the hosting is forcing another set of permissions and ps does not work, then you should look for other hosting.
