Hi guys
The best set of permissions for your phpFox file, are the following:
1. file/ (set to 555 only this folder. The content of this folder must be 755 for folders, 666 for files)
2. include/ (directories can be set to 555 or 755, files to 444 or 644).
3. module/ (directories can be set to 555 or 755, files to 444 or 644).
4. static/ (directories can be set to 555 or 755, files to 444 or 644).
5. theme/ (directories can be set to 755, files to 644).
Hope this helps secure your sites.

Hi guys
Im gonna be very busy for the next month or so, writing some SEO guides for DIY dating, and to be honest im starting to lose the will to live on the forums lately.
Getting a bit annoyed with the people with shocking sites, wondering why they don’t rank if I was a search engine I wouldn’t rank them either, you give them practical advice and they take no notice, wtf did they bother asking for help in the first place then.
God knows, so unless its someone whos gonna actually …
