Would it be possible to get the download released with the proper file permissions on or perhaps a list detailing which files and folders need to be what perms, as I dont like running anything higher than it should be.
Hi tomt,
root folder should be writable ONLY DURING installation (to create the config.php) if you're updating manually no need to be writable (also, once the config.php file is created, no need to be writable).
root folder should be writable also is you want to use the backup tool of OSClass (since it will create the files there if you don't specify any other folder), but no needed to if you specify other folder.
oc-content/uploads should be writable only if you allow images and/or files to be uploaded to your site.
oc-content/themes, oc-content/plugins, oc-content/languages, oc-content/downloads should be writable ONLY if you plan to use the market or upload zip files (for manual installations are not needed).
On the automatic upgrade, OSClass will TRY to change the file permissions of the while installation (to be able to replace the files), some hosting will allow to do it, some others will not, some will only change a few files but not all. If your hosting doesn't allow it, then, all files should be writable. On manual upgrade that's not needed. Anyway, once you finished upgrading, you could change all permissions back to read only, except oc-content/uploads.
Hope it's clear now
