How to deny access to folder?
« on: March 28, 2010, 10:52:53 AM »
in the installation docs it says

"Access through your webserver to at least the following directories should be denied:

/config
/temp
/logs

"

to translate into english ;) this means that I should set file permissions in my ftp program for these folders or? If so what number?

Read the documentation of your webserver, if you're using Apache then .htaccess is you friend.

So I also have the same question - just trying to understand what exactly this means in terms of which permission to assign to these directories & to the files within.  Looking for something like  directory 755 and file 700 or whatever.  Also I would love to hear more about the .htaccess as my friend - how should I modify that?

Thank you.  I'm not an expert and tried to find this answer in the documentation.  Any help /direction is appreciated.
