I just installed Coppermine. Really cool! In the setup documentation it said to place the Coppermine directory off the htdocs directory and CHMOD all permissions to 777. I did that. Is it safe to leave it that way? Did the setup script address this issue? Thanks for making such a good application.
It doesn't say to set everything to 777. You set specific folders to either 777 or to 775 depending on how your server is configured.
Everything has 777 now. Do I need to change it? To what value? Thanks

It's in the instruction manual, aka "the docs". 755 is more secure if it works on your server.

Thanks! I read the docs and 755 works on all files and folders OK. Boy, it was a pain doing all the research necessary to get uploads working. So much trial and error! Found a default php.ini to use.
About the files created at setup. Should those be protected with .htaccess so they can't be accessed via http?
No.
