Some of my clients prefer not to upgrade. I agree - lots of people out there using 1.0.x however. Some of my clients prefer not to upgrade.

Limits the vulnerabilities that can write to disk to those using the FTP user and not just any PHP file in Joomla.

Alternately, if the user account is a member of any of the public backend user groups they may edit from either the frontend or backend login.

Anytime you change your php.ini settings you must restart apache for the settings to take effect. How this is actually done can vary - on the servers I use you type 'service httpd restart' at the command line. Sandi is correct.

My problem was very similar: The Joomla! installer pre-installation check screen displayed "Unwritable" in red for the session save path parameter. I did everything Dustin said above. But it still did not work. I tried about 20 other things, nothing worked. Finally, I found somewhere that you should re-start the Apache Web Server Service. I did that, and voila'!

]]> Comment on Perfect Permissions for Joomla and Plesk by Ville http://www.dustinsdesign.com/perfect-permissions-for-joomla-and-plesk/#comment-27 Ville Thu, 24 Apr 2008 04:22:56 +0000 http://www.dustinsdesign.com/perfect-permissions-for-joomla-and-plesk/#comment-27 OK this looks good but: - Developer installs module at Joomla - Now the permissions are not 664 anymore but 644 as Apache creates the file with umask 644 - Developer changes something on the module and wants to upload using ftp -> as the file owner is apache and group is psacln, the developer cannot overwrite the file as only the owner has write permission (644). I think Apache should need to be changed to umask the files so that group has write permission (664). Any thoughts? OK this looks good but:
- Developer installs module at Joomla
- Now the permissions are not 664 anymore but 644 as Apache creates the file with umask 644
- Developer changes something on the module and wants to upload using ftp
-> as the file owner is apache and group is psacln, the developer cannot overwrite the file as only the owner has write permission (644).

I think Apache should need to be changed to umask the files so that group has write permission (664).

Any thoughts?
