Prestashop 1.7 sets permissions to 666

[Walrus]

Everytime I install Prestashop 1.7, or a theme, or a module, dir permissions are being set to 777 and files to 666. This prevents install, or adding modules or themes without manually resetting permissions to 755 and 644, respectively.

 

I contacted my host as no one on the forums seems to be experiencing the same problems. This seems unlikely but here is their reply:

 

 

"The zip file provided by prestashop has the file permissions set to 666. They are being retained when unzipping. I downloaded the file from command line to test.

^This is incorrect permissions for this webserver and are ultimately how prestashop is providing their file to you. It is possible they have anticipated an alternative hosting environment when creating the file, but that is not clear."

 

 

Googling for best permissions suggests 755 for dirs, and 644 for files and this is what my server excepts, not 777 and 666, respectively.

 

So, are they correct, and everyone is changing permissions manually?

Same problem, tried installation on the shared hosting and VPS on FreeBSD. I thought that this issue may be umask related but my umask value is 22 which is corresponds to 755 and 644. What the heck is wrong with this Prestashop.

They use PHP umask function inside PHP code related to Symphony

I had this issue with Prestashop 1.7 and I tracked it back to a setting in app/console

Below are the first few lines in the file. In my case the following was uncommented, "umask(0000); // This will let the permissions be 0777"

 

// if you don't want to setup permissions the proper way, just uncomment the following PHP line
// read http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/installation.html#configuration-and-setup for more information
//umask(0000); // This will let the permissions be 0777

 

I hope this helps someone else.
