Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hi guys,

first thing first I must thank you for the great project. Vesta has incredible boosted my sites and I hope you release soon 0.9.9-9 with FPM support.

I have only one question about security. If you enable proxy to website, you must set on every file (image, javascript, movies, ...) permissions to 775. If you don't have these permissions, error in log appear and media won't load:

[error] 21284#0: *7 open() "/home/xxx/web/domain.tld/public_html/images/icons/misc/star.gif" failed (13: Permission denied), client: xx.xx.xx.xx, server: domain.org, request: "GET //images/icons/misc/star.gif HTTP/1.1",

So my question is about permissions. Can I set to every file recursively chmod -R 775 /home/user/web/ ? Media are okay but php scripts and configuration php files will be in threat I think.

Can you explain me if it's safe method or not? Because if you normally copy via SCP/SFPT files you must manually set 775 to them, because they have in default 644/600.

Thank you for explanation.

Hi,
You can use chmod 755 for folders and 644 for files
for folders images, icons, and misc you can use chmod 777
