Default What is correct permission setting? 755 or 777?

What should the permission settings be on my cpanel.
I have public_html set to 750
tmp set to 755
www set to 750

My search is not working, it is bring up all entries from my database. Should files within public_html be set individually to 750? or stay at 644?

Please check out www.ufindabiz.com

Thanks

Your permissions depend on what program you are running. Most run around 755 with certain files at 644. I think default for public html is 755, cant remember have to go look, but.. you dont have enough info here to answer you correctly anyway.

777 is the code setting for your Guest Book.

777 should only be used if specific directory has to be writable for a script to work (I am assuming you are saying moodymare has a guestbook that needs it writable).

Some files have to be 644, such as .htaccess files. Don't change those to anything else (unless you know what you are doing).

Other files such as your html files default to 644, its best to keep those at their defaults unless they have to be changed for some other reason.

Any file that gets executed by the browser and not the server should need to be set to 755, but definitely not 777. (unless for some reason the specific file needs it)
