    • Sourceforge hosting and write permissions

    Posted by cignoni posts: 4

    I have run a site using tikiwiki 1.8.3 for one year hosted by Sourceforge.
    some days ago sourceforge has changed its policies about write permission (see https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?group_id=1&docid=4297#permissions for more details) and my site stopped to work complaining that it needs writing permissions on some dirs.
    i have tried to manually chmod the indicated dirs to 777 but it did not helped.

    I think that with current sourceforge policies the guide on the installation of tiki on sourceforge ( http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=SourceForgeTikiInstall ) is no more valid.

    How can i restore my web site?

    Are other tikiwiki installations on sourceforge still working?

    thanks in advance for your help

    Rather than globally 777 use 770 and 750 accordingly and have the files group flags changed to the apache user.

    A lot more secure for anyone using Linux hosting. Never use 777 unless you want to be open for attack
