Re: [PLUG] need php help


Sean,
my plan is to get it working, then reset file permissions to 755. i agree that in general it's a bad idea, but in the interest of troubleshooting sometimes i think it's necessary...


thanks,

cliff

UserInfoUtil.php does exist, the permissions are set to 777.


while i'm not knowledgable to comment on the specifics of this webapp, i feel compelled to comment because no-one else has yet done so... don't do this.

making files world writable is a very bad thing and gets you nothing besides potential security liabilities etc. there's nothing "less readable" about setting the permissions to 755.
