How do I change Permissions?

[jon b]

For anyone wondering what exactly does 646; 664 permissions represent, if your host does not use those numbers.

Here is a great guide for you to use which will basically calculate chmod commands for you on the fly:

so: 646 =
Owner:
Read (r)
Write (w)

Group:
Read (r)

Others:
Read (r)
Write (w)

664=

Owner
Read (r)
Write (w)

Group
Read (r)
Write (w)

Other
Read (r)

Although the instructions advised CHMODing the 3 files to 646, they only became secure according to the Setup Manager when I changed the permissions to 644.

Not all servers are configured the same. If 644 works for you without displaying the security warning, that's what you should use.

That doesn't work with mine, and I don't know how to get rid of those security warnings on my server.
I can't change them...

Any help would be great. I've read all the pages related to this !

Check with your web host provider. They should be able to tell you how to do this properly for their server (all hosts are different).
