permissions question

[lsvf]

I am concerned that leaving all the files with 0777 permissions presents a security issue. After installation which files require such full permissions?

it should go ok with 755, but i have my images and media set to 777.

I agree that Soholaunch should add a few lines to the readme file of the installation where it states which folders should have what permission.

but..... the installation they provide 'should' normally work right away, but this is offcourse server dependand as well.

This realy depends on the server. Some work fine with 755, but some can be stuborn. If 755 doesn't work for you, than there are a few folders you should change to 777. I will list the folders below

/images (in docroot)
/media (in docroot)
/template (in docroot)
/sohoadmin/tmp_content

I hope this helps.
