Resetting File Permissions
This is an old revision of the document!
Here’s how to reset your file and directory permissions:
- find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;
- find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ;
- chmod o+w var var/.htaccess includes includes/config.php app/etc
- chmod 550 pear
- chmod -R o+w media
The above commands need to be executed from the root directory where Magento is installed.
If you do not have access to SSH:
- Download Magento Cleanup Tool
- Unzip magento-cleanup.php to the root directory where Magento is installed.
