Seems to be specific to the server... I also have XOOPS set up on DreamHost, and there I can change permissions on both mainfile and uploads to user only, and everything still works.

Security concerns with Unix permissions

Hello,

I am evaluating Xoops, and I noticed a couple of things that worry me.

1. mainfile.php has to be world readable for XOOPS to work. This file has the DB password in it.

2. uploads directory is world readable _and_ world writeable.

Is this something that is specific to the server I'm running on, specific to php, or specific to Xoops?

Regards,
