Files and Directories permissions error

From time to times, we must fix permissions on files and directory in order to secure an installation or to fix a broken one.

The common error message that you'll encounter in your logs will be similar to the following:

error: directory is writable by others


The process to resolve this particular issue is quite straight forward and simple.

1) Log to your server using SSH
2) Run those commands

find ~/www/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find ~/www/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;


3) Visit your website and see if everything run smoothly


And that's about it!
