Need file permissions permanent help page ! - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

-

greetings,

i spent hours trying figure out why core search component joomla! 1.0.11 didn't work me.

i did quite bit of debugging of components/com_search/search.php , isolated problem.

then search forums , found many other people had same problem, , none found
a resolution it, except re-uploaded files , problem disappeared.

i found source of error... file permissions.

i set whole tree 777 , error went away.

the problem is:  1) web-based installation didn't catch this, 2) best effort @ setting file permissions didn't catch this, 3) joomla! backend admin system/permissions tab didn't catch this.

you can read details of ugly problem, including dead code in search.php, here:  http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,114271.0.html

i think it's high time permanent page devoted file permissions.  sources set whole tree 755.  others set 775, folders set 707.  sources set permissions recursively (on subfiles , subfolders). 

this whole issue seems generate endless headaches people installing.  myself followed web-based installation, had set more permissions ran site , encountered errors.  hit or miss!

it's huge security issue, no?

we need place explained , great have shell script go out , set proper, official, security-cleared permissions in whole tree.

maybe official permissions page @ top of installation forum.

viva la joomla!

i created script set permissions, shown below. 
executed root of joomla! tree.
the search component bug doesn't show these settings. 
if knows better regarding these settings, please let know.

thanks,
jc
