Hello guys, I have been trying to figure this out for three days and it is driving the hell out of me. When I set the www folder permissions to 777 recursive, all problems are gone and Presta is smooth. But when I set the permissions to 755 recursive on all folders and files I get lots of problems such as fatal error smarty is not able to write to ../.. permission denied. I know that the best configuration would be 755 for folders and 644 for files but that's an enormous task to set them individually. Is there a shell command to do it all automatically? In addition, please note that the only user I have on the machine is root. I've read that for Apache guys, they give the www-data user certain permissions to control the files the way it wants. Would there be an equivalent way to it in nginx? Appreciated in advance, Phil.

Hello community! I'm pretty new to Prestashop and I've found myself with a little problem after the installation. I did exactly everything the installer says and after that, all went O.K. and I could access my back office (A.K.A. Admin Panel) and I could see my website with the default theme and articles. After that I changed the permissions in my FTP to "755" in folders and "644" (from "777"). The thing is that after doing so I get the following error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyException' with message 'unable to write file /var/www/vhosts/publicacionestecnicas.com/httpdocs/bike/prestashopbo/cache/smarty/cache/blocksearch_top/1/1/6/5b/6f/5f/wrt53baaf5827a980.39069694' in /var/www/vhosts/publicacionestecnicas.com/httpdocs/bike/prestashopbo/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php:44 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/vhosts/publicacionestecnicas.com/httpdocs/bike/prestashopbo/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_cacheresource_file.php(102): Smarty_Internal_Write_File::writeFile('/var/www/vhosts...', 'writeCachedContent(Object(Smarty_Internal_Template), 'write(Object(Smarty_Internal_T in /var/www/vhosts/publicacionestecnicas.com/httpdocs/bike/prestashopbo/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php on line 44 It seems that my shop will only work with "777" permissions. Any idea of why is that? Thanks in advance, Johnny,

Hi, I am creating a module to export data to a csv file, but when I go to install on a Linux server Aruba.it, the module folder and the files inside are with 777 while aruba accepts only 755 . I tried to install other modules and from them the prefixed 755. Where am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance

Hi there, I have changed all my files permissions to 755, trying to fix a translation problem and now my images are broken at front-end. I would appreciate any recommendation in order not to install my e-shop from the beginning again. http://dev.artivelab.gr/development/xartopolio/ Prestashop ver: 1.5.3.1

Hola a todos, He instalado prestashop 1.5.5.0, y al volver a poner los permisos de las carpetas en 755, no me funcionaba bien la tienda ni el gestor. He estado probando, y finalmente dejando los permisos de los archivos y subcarpetas de la carpeta "cache" en 777, he conseguido que me funcione correctamente. Mi consulta es: ¿Hay algún problema de seguridad o de otro tipo dejando los permisos así? Muchas gracias. Adolfo Beato

Je n'ai pas un problème de serveur puisque je peux créer un dossier d'images avec la permission 755 mais quand j'essaie de télécharger l'image et Prestashop doit créer un nouveau dossier pour contenir le dossier de l'image. Il la crée avec 644 permission. Quelqu'un peut me dire où je peux trouver le code pour modifier la nouvelle autorisation de dossier?

Hola. Recientemente he cambiado de alojamiento web y al instalar Prestashop 1.4 han comenzado los problemas. Durante la instalación me informaba de que muchos directorios necesitaban permisos de escritura (tuve que ponerle 777). Pero después de instalarlo, tengo varios problemas, a la hora de traducir, instalar temas, etc... En mi anterior hosting, todas las carpetas tenían permisos 755 y todos los archivos 644, y todo funcionaba perfectamente. En este nuevo, tengo que darle 777 a las carpetas y 666 a los archivos, y creo que esto no es muy seguro. ¿Alguien podría ayudarme o decirme si estoy haciendo algo mal? Mi proveedor de hosting dice que para que tenga permisos de escritura tengo que poner 777 pero no lo veo muy normal, cuando en otros hostings me funcionaba con 755. Un saludo y gracias.
