Travis Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi,What is the reason for having 777 permission as it is less secure? It gives customers on my website the ability to hack it and place viruses, or alter and affect my whole website.It hasn't happened to me yet, but it does concern me terribly.

Damien Metzger Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Oh no ! Whoever told you this is far from the truth.It only allow any user on your server to edit the files. And PHP is a user like another, so we need these rights in order for it to create product images, change the configuration, translate your shop, and so on.Why do you put doors in your house ? It's less secure than walls only ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
