THE_SUPERMAN Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 What are the recommended permissions for IPB files and folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Ashbrook Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 It really depends on your server configuration - as long as specific folders are writable by PHP (you can use the support tool to check this - the install and upgrade processes also check on this before proceeding), your host can advise on the proper permissions for files and folders.

THE_SUPERMAN Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 This is an evasive answer. Could you tell me what the minimum requirements are for the IPB update process to take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The minimum requirements can change from version to version and are checked by both the AdminCP support tool as well as the install and upgrade process themselves. As for permissions, some servers require writable folders and files to be 0777, while others require 0755. That is why the answer is evasive - if you are hosting the software on your own servers, the required permissions can vary depending upon the server configuration (whether you use suphp, as well as what user/group your FTP vs webserver user runs under, among other things).
