Disregard the error below it seems to have fixed it self.


I just upgraded today with 1.0 stable. I used the fix permissions and it changed my permissions to 0750 and 0640 instead of 0755 and 0644 as selected in the setup. My server used a 4 digit permission instead of a three digit. Will this cause any problems?

The 4 digits is just a different way of saying the same thing. 0755 means: octal 755 (the leading 0 denotes octal numbers, which is the standard notation for permissions). Having your files change to 0750 and 0640 doesn't seem correct, though. Are you using Joomla!'s FTP mode on your site?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am not sure why the C-panel file manager showed the permissions like that. I logged out of C-Panel and then back in and the permissions were correct as 0755, and 0644. Very strange. But it is fine now. Not an error with the admin tools it seems, but perhaps something strange with the browser or C-panel.

The only thing that springs to mind is that cPanel's File Manager doesn't auto-refresh. You have to close it and launch it again to pick up changes in file permissions performed outside of it.
