Ownership and permission for root folder #1169

Closed thomaslvz closed 1 month ago

thomaslvz commented 1 month ago

Hi all, I have read a lot of issues here and it is not clear to me, so I make a new one

My root path is set to : $root_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'files';

and i want to know what ownership and permission settings should be granted for my folder files. It is currently set to

drw-rw---- tinyfilemanager www-data

But this doesnt work, and I dont want to set it to 777 (even though this makes it work) to keep things clean.

Just in the root directory of your web page. There is no point in setting this up. Please refer to: chmod 644 /home/admin/web/Example.com/public_html

Thanks for answering. What you say does not seem right to me. My web page is within /var/www/tinyfilemanager, my root directory is set to /var/www/tinyfilemanager/files. If I do chmod -R 644 /var/www/tinyfilemanager/files my files are not visible from my web browser. I did chmod -R 755 /var/www/tinyfilemanager/files , this seems to work now

In fact, /tinyfilemanager can be set to lindex.php and it can become the default access file by directly opening the domain name.
