Recursive Dir's and File permissions

[drillsar]

For people that install prestashop for 1st time if you get the following error:

 

• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/config/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/cache/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/log/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/img/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/mails/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/modules/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/themes/default-bootstrap/lang/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/themes/default-bootstrap/pdf/lang/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/themes/default-bootstrap/cache/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/translations/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/upload/
• Recursive write permissions for www-data user on ~/download/

Do the following:

Add user to group www-data
Sudo chown -R user:www-data path to prestashop dir
Sudo chmod g+w -R path to prestashop dir

After install to make it more secure

sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

give group write permissions to following dir's

sudo chmod g+w -R app/logs, app/cache, img, modules, translations, upload, download, mails, config, themes

Also edit .htaccess in your admin folder and add

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from IP address

chmod 444 .htaccess

Look right, thanks.

 

For people who still get blank page, I'll recommend to manually clear cache by deleting content of folders:

cache/smarty/compile

cache/smarty/cache

img/tmp

 

... except of index.php.
