permissions to chmod 000
I don't know why but my folders permissions changes to chmod 000, this happens suddenly, like a terror film.
I changed to joomla 1.0.12, and still having the same problem.
these are my details:
joomla 1.0.12
php: 4.3.11
apache: 1.3.33
MySQL: 4.1.21-standard
Do you guys know any possible reason?
maybe the file creation perms in the server tab conf?
thanks in advance

Re: permissions to chmod 000
you mean it happened once, or it happens repeatedly?
do you have your configuration.php file locked down so it can't be accessed?

Re: permissions to chmod 000

No, I don't have the configuration.php file locked down. What are the file perms to do it?
thanks

Re: permissions to chmod 000
The standard, default permissions that get assigned to files and directories by the server are normally:
Files = 644
Directories = 755
However, to get a better understanding of file permissions are explained you maybe want to read PLEASE READ ME: File Ownership issues http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,121470.0.html.
You may also want to read through the Joomla Administrator's Security Checklist (rev. 1.3) http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,81058.0.html

Re: permissions to chmod 000
It happened again, now in the root folder, I have installed joomla on a subfolder, now the subfolder became chmod 000 and I can't see anything on my site. I got:
I did not do anything.
Code: Select all
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /new/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Re: permissions to chmod 000
Firstly;
Double check that your configuration.php does not have directory permissions setup for '000' allowing Joomla! to set strange permissions.
Secondly;
Check with you host to see if they have made any changes to suExec or suPHPexec or mod-security or something similar or have no just implemented a new script that checks for insecure permissions or something. i know of many security based scripts that modify "questionable" files and directories to '000' to protect the server. Also, check the servers 'umask' the default is 022, if it has been set to '077' this will give you permissions of '000'
Thirdly;
Does this seem to happen at around the same time each day or other day or at a specific time of day?
Check your crontab for strange entries running a script that you didn't put there. Check for and hidden files (starting with a "." or ". " (dot space) etc....
Review your site for changed/modified content.

Re: permissions to chmod 000
the configuration.php had 707 before the installation folder became 000, right now I can't access anything, the root folder where joomla is installed has 000.RussW wrote: Firstly;

this happend once in a while, it doesn't has a schedule or a exactly period of time. What is weird is that this happenend one time with a folder outside joomla system.
I have installed joomla in a subfolder on my site (/new), yesterday the "components" became chmod 000 like a ghost tale, the admin hosting sorted out the file perms, but after a while the root folder (/new) became chmod in the same manner, itself. Now the admin changed the file perms and I discovered another file with the same problem, now is a file from a component, a mosets directory componenet file.
do you thing that joomla is making this?

Re: permissions to chmod 000
Like britney says, ups they did it again. I put my site offline and it happened again, the same folders became chmod 000 itself.
what dou you think?
By the way, I use smartftp client, do you think that this can affect?
thanks again

Re: permissions to chmod 000
I just had the same problem.
I am not sure if I caused it using the CP master.htaccess or a glitch using mulit-site, or a glitch when I tried to back-up my data and database. I do beleive it occurred when I was trying to back up my data.
However my host was able to fix it in 5 minutes.
FYI - I have ver 1.0.11; php 4.1.21; mysql 4.1.15.

Re: permissions to chmod 000
This is really an abnormal situation i have never seen in my life before,
Is it easy to reach your server with root access, i do not think it is a kind of joomla problem
because joomla gets user rights under apache,
you should change the ownership of chaged files to another user different from root or apache.
than change the access permissions of directories 755 files 644
hope the logic helps
I hope there is no bug/code on operating system which has root permissions to do this mess
