What are the minimally required permissions?
« on: January 13, 2013, 11:39:37 am »
One of the users of a server I administer has recently installed osclass.

I recall during the install it suggested a permissions of something like a+rwx (shocked and horrified).

EDIT: The exact message is: Root folder has to be writable, i.e.: chmod a+w /home/zzing/public_html/
This is an abomination before security.

Just prior to my meddling the install was the most insecure installation I could imagine. It is still terrible, but that is why I am posting. I would like to ask what are the minimal permissions required for osclass to run. For example, what areas does it need to be able to write to?

Though not an answer, I had to chime in cause I've wondered the same.
I have for clear reasons set certian folders secure such as the install folder but would also like to see an exact list of files that must be writable.

@zzing this requirement is only during the installation. Then, I recommend you to change the permissions for that folder to readable only.

Then only folder that need to be writable is the oc-content/uploads/ folder.
