Configuration File ./inc/config.php Not Writable
Please CHMOD to 777.
Settings File ./inc/settings.php Not Writable
Please CHMOD to 777.
why should these files have 777?
config.php need to be 666 to be written to in the installation process but you can change it to 444 after. settings.php always needs to be 666 so settings can be written to it.
I had to say...my board is already installed
Ok... well as long as the settings are as above, you won't have any problems.
currently config.php is 644 and settings too...I have to change to 44 right?
Well you don't have to change config.php to 444, it might just make it a bit more secure, as then it can't be written to. settings.php has to be 666 though otherwise it won't work properly.
Hello
I've just read some thing about setting files/folders on 777 chmod is very risky. So, I noticed that few folder on myBB installation have to have those chmod settings:
./cache/ 777
./cache/themes/ 777
./uploads/ 777
./uploads/avatars/ 777
Is that really necessary and can I change that permissions to some other that will not interrupt myBB but will be more secure?
Thanx
See if 757 will work, if not, try 775, and if not, it'll need to be 777. That's going from most secure to least secure.
