Which folders and files needed 777 mode in joomla 1.5?

Question

After joomla upload to ftp . how many folder needed mode 777 need enable to working joomla without any error.

Solution 1

Depending on the security configuration of your Web server the recommended default permissions of 755 for directories and 644 for files should be reasonably secure.

Solution 2

Only bad hosting providers will require you to set permissions to 777. If you have to do that, or are told to do that by your host, save yourself and get a better host. I don't deal with clients on hosts like that, because its the source of a LOT of security issues.

Solution 3

never use 777 but use 755.

755 only for writeable folders like components, modules, templates, caches and images.

except for that .. set to 664

Also, if you are still having problems with Joomla! when your folders are set to 755, you have a HOSTING issue and not a Joomla! issue.
