roofyapple Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Part of the installation guide for prestashop shop is to change permissions:"Then make sure the following folders have ‘write’ permissions and apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations"Is this step just for the subfolders or the subfolders and the files in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbola Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 These should be set to Recursive, for all sub Folders/Directories.But not subfiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roofyapple Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 thanks for the clarificationDo you know why it wasn't set properly in the prestashop install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roofyapple Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Just on the topic of file permissions, is it really correct in the installation manual that those folders should be permission 777. Isnt that a bit risky. If i set it any lower, the presta shop installer will complain.777 will open up ur site to being hacked wouldnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yes, it should be chmod 755 for folders and chmod 644 for files. The PrestaShop team decided to write the instructions with chmod 777 because PrestaShop will only work on some older servers if you use chmod 777. In that case, it would better to change to a new server that can work lesser permissions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
