File Permissions

Yamaha

I have just installed a PHPBB forum on my page. It works good now as it is, however anyone can look up the root directory and see all the file in it. What should the settings be for each file? The Forum directory is 755 and the index.php is 444. When I try to change the Forum permission I get a 404 error. This a the same for all PHP scripts I am running, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. 😕

Hi. A couple of suggestions...

In web root, stick a .htaccess file that contains

Options -Indexes

on one line. Also stick an index.php file in web root that contains

<?
$url = "http://www.domain.com/phpBB/index.php";
header("location: $url");
?>

Cheers.
