I don’t think the advice from alexmilovx is very good. A directory without a execute permission won’t be able to be traversed by the software. Normally a directory, like forum, should be 0755 drwxr-xr-x, and php files are normally fine with read and write for the owner and read only for everyone else 0644 -rw-r–r–.

I’m not sure how the advice was relevant to solving this problem, but I don’t think the advice was helpful or accurate in any case.
