    What are the minimum permissions for the site to function?
    I started getting 403 errors all of the sudden on one of my sites today.  I checked the permissions and they were set to 644.  I really wasn't sure what the minimum was, so I checked my other site and it was set to 755.  I changed the other one to 755 and it went back to working normally.  I'm concerned that someone has stolen my FTP credentials.

      BTW...I'm referring to the permissions on the root PGV folder.

    Hi

    Had a look at the Wiki. I am a bit confused.

    My ----.GED_conf.php file in the index folder is set 0644 but  on the Administration page I get the message:

    &quot;Your config.php file is still writable. For security, you should set the permissions of this file back to read-only when you have finished configuring your site&quot;

    Is this referring to the config.php file sitting in tte home/www directory . It's set at the moment on 0755 - should this be changed to 444 (as per the wiki)  and back to 0755 before making changes to the configuation options and back again after making changes?

    Thank you.

    Yes
