File Permissions Settings?

I will soon be uploading Dolphin to the VPS.  I will need to set the file permissions for the FTP transfer of the Dolphin files.  What should the permissions of the files and folders be set to?

default directory permissions 775 and default file permissions 664?

Depends on how the server is setup. That is normal for most situations, and FTP should handle that automatically and it is a normal OS default.

It's the permissions for dolphin specific files you need to look at after upload because some of them are to be made writable.

Thanks.  I am having to configure vsftpd FTP Server as this was not set in the config file; learning something new.

Oops!  I did it wrong:

Note: all the other files in the Dolphin installation folder should have 644 permissions, and subfolders should have 755 permissions.

I set them to 775.

 yes but you can ssh in right?

if so look at the link Deano posted and apply the correct chmods of all the folders.

Change all files back to 644, then run the chmods in the install section.

I adjusted the ftp server and reupped them.  Just ran the script and I got all errors for the permissions with them set to 755.  So that means that php is running as an Apache module and I have to follow the part about "If PHP is running as an Apache module on Unix systems" ?

OK, did a php info and yes, PHP is running as an Apache module; so will enter a terminal and fix the permission errors.  Thanks for the help guys.

 are you uploading files in a different user's account as logged in root?

Yes, not logged in as root; used sudo chmod and got the permissions correct.  Had to install imagemagick; but first had to install a c++ complier.  Seems one thing after another but I will get there.
