chmod for Joomla with FileZilla
Web July 14th, 2009
For Joomla, we should chmod all folders to 755 and files to 644. (Of course, there are some folders we need to chmod 777…).
With FileZilla, right click on the Joomla folder, choose File Permissions…
- “Recurse into subdirectories” CHMOD for all subfolders.
- “Apply to all files and directories” CHMOD files + Folders.
- “Apply to files only” CHMOD files only.
- “Apply to directories only” CHMOD for folders only.
If your host is support, you can create a chmod.php file with content:
<?php
system(’find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; 2>&1′);
system(’find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; 2>&1′);echo(”\n\nComplete!”);
?>
Then upload it to the folder you want to chmod and view it (yoursite/chmod.php), it will chmod all subfolders to 755 and files to 644.

Move Joomla! configuration to another safe place
Web March 9th, 2009
For ex. we have
/www/configuration.php
(Or /www/joomla etc/configuration.php)
Now we would like move config content to /configruation.php (out of WWW directory).
1- Create a NEW.cf in / You will have /NEW.cf
2- Copy your configuration content in /www/configuration.php to /NEW.cf
3- Change configuration content in /www/configuration.php to
<?php
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/../NEW.cf’ );
?>
For more security, you may chmode the configuration in /www/configuration.php to 644
Good luck!
