Permision changes for security

**GK User** Thu Apr 25, 2013 4:05 pm

I have ran RSFirewall and it reports that some .php files and .png files are set to permission 664 and wants to attempt to set them to 644. Will this affect the template and is it necessary for security reasons. (as our site was recently hacked). Thanks.

Hi,
Yes RSFirewall said you true, there should not be any problems, use this feature of this great component.

644 - are recommended setting for files.

p.s.
Remember to update to Joomla! 2.5.10 ! or Joomla 3.1

If you are building multilingual website please don't update till Joomla 2.5.12, there is a bug in 2.5.10 & 2.5.11 and you will get error 404
