My install for CMS Builder 2.51 isn't automatically setting my directory permissions. Can anyone tell me where can I find a list of what the directory permissions are suppose to be so I can set them manually?

I did get a plain text message displayed on the screen to check the permissions on the "settings" file. I'm installing CMS Builder on a Virtual Private Server and will be doing a lot of installs on a VPS going forward... so I figured I could save myself some time if I new the permissions settings for the directories and files that are critical for the install. This way I can set / check them before running the installer.

Hi zick, 

Ok sure, basically it's the /data/ folder and everything under it, and any /upload/ folders:

  • /data/
  • /data/*.* (all files in dir)
  • /data/schema/
  • /data/schema/*.* (all files in dir)
  • /data/schemaPresets/
  • /data/schemaPresets/*.* (all files in dir)
  • /data/backups/
  • (any upload dir) and thumb subfolders.

To find the highest security supported by your server try these chmod permissions and use the first one that works: 755, 775, 777

And if you happen to forget something, the installer should remind you anyway to ensure it's setup correctly.

Hope that helps, let me know any questions.
