I notice that when i install a script, e.g. wordpress, from softaculous, the permissions of all files and directories are set to 0777. My server is using suphp and suexec and this is causing errors. What is the resolution for this problem?

Softaculous should never assign permissions of 0777 because not all servers are configured in that way.

Just to add, though this is isnt generating any internal 500 errors, it is giving problems for some plugins. Example is plugin ozh-admin-drop-down-menu

If I make an install using FTP or Fantastico, and upload this plugin and activate, it is behaving correctly

But when i do installation using Softaculous, it's messing up my wp admin area. The only think I can attribute is the permissions of wp-content folder being in 0777 and this is a big no-no for servers running in suphp. You gotta find a solution for this.

I tried to manually change the permissions of wp-content and plugins folder to 755 and the plugin behaved correctly again.

So as you can see, this is clearly an issue with Softaculous assigning permissions 0777 by default. Everybody knows that suphp dislikes 0777

Softaculous uses the following code to detect suphp :
PHP Code

 //Is suPHP installed ?
$apache_modules = (function_exists('apache_get_modules') ? apache_get_modules() : '');
if(is_array($apache_modules)){
    foreach($apache_modules as $av){
        if(strtolower($av) == 'mod_suphp'){
            $globals['odc'] = 0755;//Octal Directory CHMOD
            $globals['sdc'] = '0755';//String Directory CHMOD
            $globals['ofc'] = 0755;//Octal File CHMOD
            $globals['sfc'] = '0755';//String File CHMOD
        }
    }
} 


It will detect it if its running as an Apache module as per PHP. Are you using CGI ?

Well for some reason it seems not working. I am executing PHP as suphp and using php 5.2.10 version. Im using suexec too. But when I installed Wordpress, it still chmod the directories to 0777

I did try installing but again but softaculous makes the entire wp-content directory (including all files and subdirectories) to 0777. That's the only directory that softaculous is setting to 0777. i don't know why

So any fix for this problem?

I cannot start using softaculous if this will not be fixed. Otherwise I will be getting too much support tickets on plugins not working because of this problem of setting permissions to 0777 for the entire wp-content folder

Can softaculous dev team find a solution for this? I cannot use this script for my servers running in suphp because of this problem. I hope you will resolve this. I cannot even correct the code because they are encoded

I am sorry for the late reply.
Softaculous 2.0 will have a manual override for this.

For a quick fix can you can open globals.php in your softaculous and edit 0777 to 0755
This will do the trick!

Please use the attached globals.php and replace it in your Softaculous installation
2.0 has the manual override as mentioned.

Okay so in version 2.0 this has already been fixed without me having to change globals.php file? If yes, when are you going to release version 2.0 so I can upgrade?

Version 2.0 will be out soon.
We are working day and night on it.
In the mean time please apply the patch.

There is absolutely no harm if you apply the above file.

Now that version 2 is already available, i tried to do a wordpress install on another server with version 2. But it still puts permission 777 to wp-content directory!

I thought you will include the fix in version 2??

Softaculous has so many bugs unfortunately :( And it looks like you did not test new version comprehensively to servers running in suphp and suexec

We have provided the alternative.
Just go to Your Softaculous Admin Panel -> Settings
There you will see Files and Folder Permissions to be assigned.
Leave blank for automatic detection or put 0755 for suPHP and suEXEC

We had to give this alternative as all environments dont show / allow detection of certain components. Hence the Admin just needs to specify the file & folder permissions once in case automatic detection is failing in your environment.

Also we test each software and Softaculous several times before the release of any version.

Alons
