-On a Linux-based system, the general rule of thumb is 755 for directories, 644 for files
+This page checks how your server set-up affects how secure your files are. On PhoenixCart < 1.0.8.15, the two columns "Writable" and "Recommended" should have the same symbol to indicate correct set-up. On PhoenixCart >=1.0.8.15 a green symbol indicates correct set-up, while a red symbol means you should change things in your hosting to strengthen your security.
-<!--
+Often, on a Linux-based system, correct permissions for non-writable files are 0644, while folders are 0755.
- error_reporting(0);
+Note that webservers can be set up differently.
- $i=0;
+Thus, 0664, 0644, 0640, 0460, 0444, 0440 or 0400 could be correct for non-writable files and 0775, 0755, 0750, 0570, 0555, 0550 or 0500 could be correct for non-writable folders. You can do trial and error or speak to your host to find the correct permissions for your set-up.
- $content = NULL;
- $writeperms = substr( decoct( fileperms( $testfile ) ),3 );
+If your server requires low permissions (04XX for files or 05XX for folders) to not be writable, you should instead get help from your host to make the server run as a different user from the FTP-user. You should also make your user separate from the user of other sites on the same server if possible.
