Directory & File Permissions Requirements

To ensure proper operation of the system, please verify the following:

  • Directories must have permissions set to 0755
  • Files must have permissions set to 0644
  • The cache folder must not exist prior to installation

Ownership:

  • All files and directories should be owned by the user under which PHP runs.

    • On most shared hosting, this is the PHP user
    • On Apache servers, it may be the apache or www-data user

Setting the correct permissions and ownership is essential for security and proper functionality. Please consult your hosting provider if you are unsure how to adjust these settings.
