What needs to 666 and what needs to 777?

If I make all 777 then any problem of hacking etc or others.???



Configuration File ./inc/config.php
Settings File ./inc/settings.php
File Uploads Directory ./uploads
Avatar Uploads Directory ./uploads/avatars
Language Files ./inc/languages
Backups Directory ./admin/backups
Cache Directory ./cache
Themes Directory ./cache/themes

These are file permissions. Changing all files to 777 is a security risk as all files will be writable as well as readable.

See this if you want to know about which files to chmod during installation.

The folders there should be 777 and the files there should be 666.
