Hi,

I'm trying to set permissions before install.

Is there any difference between 777 and 755 ?

Must I also set the 2 files, userpics and edit, under "albums" to 777 ?

I also see many files under "include" with 644 permissions.
There's also one file, makers, with 755 permissions. Must I reset this file to 777 too?


pse help.

thanks.

# Set permissions on the "albums" and "include" folders in your Coppermine directory. Usually, you have to apply the CHMOD command, setting the permissions to 755 (or 777, depending on your server config). This step is very important and must not be overlooked!

http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#permissions

777 means read, write and execute access for everyone. When you perform chmod 777 filename command you allow everyone to read, write and execute the file. For directory it means that everyone can create, delete and rename files in the directory


755 means read and execute access for everyone and also write access for the owner of the file. When you perform chmod 755 filename command you allow everyone to read and execute the file, owner is allowed to write to the file as well
