However, Safe Mode and/or Open_base_dir will prevent the posix trick from working (unless of course the code is executing from your own directory) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hardening-with-file-permissions#post-16049 Thu, 08 May 2008 15:31:03 +0000 sambauers 16049@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It depends on your webserver setup, but generally that sounds OK</p> <p>You might want to further restrict your config file if you are on a shared host. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hardening-with-file-permissions#post-15927 Fri, 02 May 2008 11:28:20 +0000 dangrey 15927@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>For WP it's recommended to chmod directories 755 and files 644 for "hardening" purposes.</p> <p>Does the same advice apply to bbP, and would using that scheme break anything? </p>
