My web server company is telling me they are going to change my 777 files to 775. Will they still funtion right with this change I only have 777 on the files that were stated on installs to be 777
Am I going to have problems if they make these changes?

Do you mean files or folders/directories?

I think it's mostly files have to check see if any are folders also.
I know some are under classifieds, gallery, e-commerce modules. Probably most where users are saving pictures or writing info.
Network solutions is the provider and they are saying 775 will work instead of 777
I'm not knowlegable enough to know if they are right or wrong. So I'm looking for answers from people who understand how XOOPS works if they are right that 775 will still work on my site.
I don't really want to change servers a lot of work involved to change over but I will if I have to we have a lot of work on it and need it up and running correctly.
Thanks for any input!

Re: 777 on folders ?

MikeShane, when my host did the same thing, I think it was when they upgraded to PHP5 and MYSQL5,the result was that anything that was previously 777 , were set to 755. There was a few folders that liked to be 777, I changed it by going into Cpanel >>> File Manager and changed what I needed to 777 from there no probs.

I could not change it from FileZilla (just what I use). Check that mainfile.php is 444, on the changeover I think it may have changed that as well (not to public but to 644 or something).

Tell them to first make sure that these folders are owned by the user the apache web server runs as and it should work fine. If not it will fail to work.
