nobaloney Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We're installing WHMCS on a server configured with mod_ruid2. Which means that files do not have to world writable, as everything is run as the username. Is it still required that we use 777 permissions for files WHMCS must write, or can we get away with 755 permissions? Has anyone done this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I have done this, and the permissions can be set as follows: folders to 755 files to 644 This is basically the same as if you were using SuPHP or another method to run PHP scripts as the account owner instead of the server-default user, such as nobody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobaloney Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks, Lar. Done, tested, and changed anyway to an undisclosed location (not the default mentioned in the installation instructions, as a bit of added security).
