So there are many files in the installation process of Intergramod 4.0 that require the setting of chmod 777 onto the file..

Here is the problem. My host wants to install PHPsuexec which will prevent the running of any chmod 777 files.

What are my or my hosts alternatives?

^ from my host!

Seems like this is a widespread problem. I don't think phpsuexec will prevent you from using 777 directories, but your best alternative would be to get a dedicated server host so that you can configure your server however you wish.

Also install mod security so that your server won't be compromised.

Its a VPS with root access, I have full control..

I already have mod_security installed with some STRICT filters!

My host enabled this aswell & i got this in the email & noticed that the daily back up stopped working about the same day

If you have a script that is not executing, please ensure the permission on the file is set to CHMOD 755. Scripts or folders that are chmodded to 777 will no longer work due to security risks involved with 777 settings. Setting 755 is equivalentto 777 in the new environment.

Hello? Moderators? Coders?

Have you tried changing all your CHMOD 777 folder to 755, Im no expert, but if it is the equivalent in that environment, then it should work.

Correct or No???

We'll see if my Daily Backup fails. I set chmod 755 backup/

Change 777 to 755 as indicated above....

Check with your service provider as to what change you need to make to your forum regarding directories and files access/chmod...

I got mine working now by chmod the backup directory to 777 <img> as the host had change all to 755
