Problem with install permissions

[sigmaweb]

Hit me on the side of the head, but I can't get permissions setup right for a clean 4.0 install on Linux. I get these error messages.

Warning: is_file(): Stat failed for ./modules/Accounts (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/desktop/public_html/CRM/install/checkSystem.php on line 38

Warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for ./modules/Accounts (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/desktop/public_html/CRM/install/checkSystem.php on line 38
Not Writeable

Both FTP and SSH report that these folders are all chmod 766.

Help!

And feel free to whack me. . .

Both FTP and SSH report that these folders are all chmod 766.

Is it 766 all the way up the tree?

modules = 766?
parent of modules = 766?
etc... =766?

Following on from this - when installation has been completed properly is it necessary to change some permissions back again for security reasons ? If so which ones should I change ? Is it really safe to leave everything at 766?

If I do change some permissions will I then have to change them back to 766 before running any future upgrade wizard ?

Despite looking reasonably carefully through the install info I can't find any reference to this and like all users I would obviously prefer to make sure my installation and data was completely safe from attack.

Thanks

HI.

I am trying to install Sugar 4.0 on a debian machine. I'm using mysql 5.0 and php 5.1.1-1.dotdeb.2. And I found a problem in the instalation process.

I set to 766 the permisions for modules, cache, custom and data dir.

The custom dir did not have any problem, but with modules, cache and custom the wizard said "Not Writeable".

Looking in the php code, i found that the dirs modules, cache and custom are "Writeable", but its childs are not.

The function make_writable($file) return true for "modules" but for "./modules/ACL" for example php return false.
It is becouse both is_file($file) and is_dir($file) functions return false.

I try to use chdir("module") and PHP gave me a "permission denied".

The solution was to set the files permision to 777, then the php is_dir($file) return true... :-(.It's correct?.


Thanks

Diego
