<p>I'm wondering if you wellylugers have a good idea for helping us with <br>
the SilverStripe product's tar.gz distribution...<br>
See <a href='http://www.silverstripe.com/core-team-discussion/flat/2267' target='_blank'>http://www.silverstripe.com/core-team-discussion/flat/2267</a><br>

<br>
With SilverStripe the file permissions for a few files and directories <br>
need to be writeable by the webserver. From 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 we've taken <br>
on board feedback to make the permissions alot less freaky than before. <br>
Something to reiterate is that the "open" file permissions have always <br>
related to the install process... there's never been a need for <br>
SilverStripe, once installed, to have write-permissions set other than <br>
for the assets folder (see below)<br>
<br>
My question:<br>
<br>
What is the best practice for us to use in setting permissions inside <br>
the .tar.gz file? Should it be rw-rw-rw, for instance?<br>
<br>
To clarify the files are;<br>
<br>
1) .htaccess, which gets written to once, then can be secured to readonly.<br>
2) /mysite/ and /tutorial/ which does not require files inside to be <br>
opened up. Instead, these directories need write permission so that a <br>
file inside, _config.php, can be created. Once installed, you can make <br>
this file readonly.<br>
3) /assets/ which is to be permanently kept web-writeable as this is <br>
where all uploads via the CMS are stored<br>
<br>
What if were to store them as rw-rw-rw- in the tar.gz, then the <br>
installer itself would automatically make;<br>
a) .htaccess readonly r--r--r--<br>
b) the folders r-xr-x-r-x (the 'x' is needed to allow browsing, right?) <br>
Or is this superfluous?<br>
c) Do we need the world-read bit set? Or is r--r----- fine.<br>
<br>
I'm talking about what will work best in terms of most people out of the <br>
box, especially for people who are unclear or unfamilar with file <br>
permissions, etc. We want people to have a great out-of-the-box <br>
experience, rather than the first step being messing with file permissions.<br>
<br>
This suggests thinking both about those managing their own servers as <br>
well as those installing silverstripe on random webfarm hosts...</p>
