Directories - write permissions

Permalink
When you install concrete it checks a number of folders and files for write permissions etc. When moving to a new server, what files and folders should be checked? I don't recall.

/files, /packages should recursively be read/write/execute, sitemap.xml should be read/write and /concrete/libraries/3rdparty/htmldiff.py should be executable. I think that's all of them.

In terms of writeable is that writeable for world and domain or for what. I did need to change cache (under files) to be 777 it get it to work.

That depends on your server configuration. Writeable as in whatever user your Apache server runs under needs write permission. Does not have to be world write. I almost forgot, the /updates directory needs to be writable also. Example:
