mkdir 700 ElggDiskFilestore.php

Any reason why the permissions in the mkdir of the file engine/classes/ElggDiskFilestore.php (line 294 elgg 1.8.19) needs to be 700.

I might be dumb, but with apache user as nologin its tough to do a remote backup of my instance with directories that are only readable only by the apache user.

 

  • Could be 700 to avoid problems due to missing permissions for creation a folder with more liberal access permissions which might only root be allowed to create (and not the apache user).

  • OK.. So far seems like no problems are going to be caused if I give group read permissions. This will allow me to backup effectively...

    Surprised no one else has found this a problem when executing backups. Must be backing up as root or using a multipurpose account as the apache user..
