Hi all,

I accidentally messed up the permissions on all the folders in my forums...

Is there a way to "reset' the permissions to the right ones?

Or is there a list of what they all should be?

Thanks!

Do you mean the CHMOD permissions? if so look here http://docs.mybb.com/CHMOD_Files.html
Just set all the Permissions manually.
There is no method to RESET, just repalce those file-folders with original mybb files/folder.

BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!

That won't work.

As MisterW said, check out http://docs.mybb.com/CHMOD_Files.html

I was not aware that re-uploading files resets the CHMOD permissions,I can't see how it would to be honest. I set them as per the documentation just to be safe.
Resetting to defaults means all files & folder permissions become as per server config.
