[Solved] Can the default file permissions of 664 be changed on Johnny?

[halfercode]

After a few little hiccups with logging in, I am now able to upload PHP scripts to my account. Woop!

 

However, when uploading via SFTP, I notice that the default permissions are 664, which gives group write access to my files. cPanel does not like that, and so bombs out with this error:

 

SoftException in Application.cpp:256: File "/path/to/script.php" is writeable by group

 

I suspect this is a default that I cannot change myself, other than modifying permissions per-file after I have uploaded them. I think the default should be 644, which works for me.

 

If the changes can be done and are per-user, my username is "halfer". However, it seems to me that this should be 644 for everyone.

 

Can this tweak be made, or is it group-write by default for a reason? Thanks!

Ah, a bit more digging on this - it's the same with directories as well.

 

If I create a directory via cPanel, the permissions on it will be 755, and PHP files will run fine. If I correct the directory via SFTP, the permissions are 775, and any PHP files within will result in a 500 error.

 

Interestingly, that 500 error does not itself appear in the "errlog.html" error log page in cPanel.

 

(Thanks for moving the post, Luigi).

It is possible to change the default permissions when the file is uploaded. Unfortunately that change results in no one being able to upload files at all.

Heh, alright Krydos, I think I'll pass! I will fix manually instead.

 

Thanks for the info.
