What's wrong with that?
- Fastidious 12y agoHe doesn't like it. Me neither. 777? Too liberal, really not needed. Username and password on a configuration file? Ugh.
- phoboslab 12y agoThe app needs write access to the /projects folder. Many shared hosts need 0777 because PHP runs as a different user than FTP. If you know what you're doing, you can always set it to the minimum required permissions. What's wrong with the username and pass stored in a config file? Almost all PHP apps store their database credentials in a config.php as well.
- yeukhon 12y agoI don't get it. 0777 is already the broadest permission you can give. So what is this minimum required permission? I haven't done much FTP or shared hosts since, maybe, 7-8 years, but I remember Wordpress has the same 0777 is bad practice for many years and hasn't changed. 777 is never a good option.

Anyway, these days, for a couple dollars you can have a really really good cloud hosting service.
