Or maybe you have a keylogger/virus on your computer..
Well probably since the config.php file is chmoded to 777, can that be the problem?
Oh ans regarding that what permissions should it have so that the board ca access it but not any one else.
Possibly, it should only have been set to 666, and only during installation...
666 777 676 767 776 667 any of them should work for inc/config.php
Depending on your server setup a bunch of other "lower" numbers (e.g. 600, 644, 660, etc) could also work but the chances are much lower. The necessary CHMOD permissions really depends on your server setup
664 too
Imho..once you are setup....644 is more secure and you normally don't need to write to that file once you are installed.
Wouldn't 755 be best? It is usually the default for pages, though.
*sigh* how many brain cells do we have to kill over 3 numbers.
Good point, DennisTT.
Now we need a good solution for our poor hacked dude. Okay, I don't think 755 would be good. This is because that is used for pages that anyone can view. 666 may be the best.
666 isn't any better than 755 because the read bits are all enabled.
755 is executable..no good
644 or 444 for very paranoid
