FatCat Servers utilizes suPHP an Apache module that runs PHP scripts as the owner of the file instead of 'Nobody'. This articles main focus is about the permissions , so we wont get into suPHP
No Folders or Files should ever be higher than 755. If you run a folder at 777 it can leav you vunerable to rootkits or mailware installed to your website
IMPORTANT: The public_html file is set at 750 and should never be changed, if you delete this folder then recreate it it will not work, you will have to turn in a support ticket for us to fix it
All folders inside the public_html set to 755 , even if the script calls for 777 , it will work at 755 - that is what suPHP does
Files , even .cgi set to 644
for extra security .php files will run at 600
I even set my php configuration files to 400 , if you do this they will have to be changed back to 600 or 644 if you need to edit them
to sum it up
| Folders | |
| public_html | 750 |
| all other folders | 755 |
| Files | |
| All Files | 644 |
| php files | 400,600,644 |
