XF 2.1 Permissions for community directory

[Jon12345]

When I installed my forum, I put the permissions for the folder to 0777. I know its not a wise idea to leave them as that, but what should they be set to?

In general files and directories should be 0644 and 0755 respectively.

The /data and /internal_data directories should be:
0666/0777 if PHP runs as "nobody" (the web server user)
0644/0755 if it runs as "your" user (suPHP for example)

@Brogan how can I check how my php runs?

 

[Paul B]

Ask your host.

Ask your host.

Thank you @Brogan

My settings: 0644/0755 [runs as "your" user (suPHP for example)]

@Brogan after that setup

0644/0755 if it runs as "your" user (suPHP for example)

, I got an error.
My hosting told me that the PHP acting like a user, can you tell me what I can do?

Are you sure it`s not 0755 and 0644? Because after I set /data permission to 0755, it work great.
