777 permissions

for the record can someone tell me what permissions should be 777 in addition to cache? Does temp folder need to be 777 also? I placed link or path to a pic in block and it just shows title. Thanks for help

take a lokk here shows down the page a bit  http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DetailedInstall

I read a post earlier today where someone said they have all permissions set
to 755 and 644 (777 temp) and their site worked fine.

I was going to try this theory with a test site when I get time.
.

I went to my site this morning and it was down. My server needed to be reconfigured. I found numerous exploits. after host got my site back up they changed cache back to 755. now I get this error again. is there another way around it without setting cache to 777 and getting hacked?

755 Should work fine.

It would be nice if 755 worked, but at least on mine it does not. Any other suggestions?

This is the permissions settings for v6.1.4 AFTER installation  .....  (according to install instructions)

Thanks. I did an upgrade and it didn't say anything about these permisions. At least I didn't see it. That doesn't mean it wasn't there though. :) Thanks again.

You would not see them unless you did a 'new' install  .....

This is what HFW responded to the question of setting the folders to 777. I trust you more than them, as you have the direct experience with the software and it makes since to me why they would need to be set to 777. I just worry because I understand their what they are saying also and I was already hacked once. Please tell me it's going to be OK. :) Thanks for the help

Hello,

777 permissions means a hacker can pretty much exploit the directory at will and use it to upload files such as spamming sripts.

I pay for a VPS and I have 777 issue. Is it software or hfw? Should i have vps set up a certain way?

You guys are going to get a lot of people screwed up posting false information. To the person who said they set everything to 666 and 777 you are an IDIOT. The goal is to set as FEW things to 666 and 777 as you can.

Yes, Hostforweb is pathetic. If you use them you should just go ahead and delete your whole site and setup a phishing site, because that is what you are going to end up with anyway.

Do you really have to call him an idiot?  Couldn't he just be wrong, or "sadly mistaken" or something like that?

that link is deprecated to Dolphin v5. search the forum for dolphin file permissions, i have included a list for 6.0, and another for 6.1 somewhere on here. yes they are different.

buckmcgoo,

you should refrain from name calling. rumpy posted exactly a factual statement. dolphin requires these files to be set 666 and 777, does not say all files and folders are 666 or that all files and folders are 777. so  please read the post, and we all accept constructive criticism for our shortcomings, and if you have to berate the community members, please just dont post to our forum.

later,

DosDawg
