Got some grief at my latest upgrade. Suggest: fix or update docs - sombragris - 2015-11-30

I upgraded to 3.3.7 and got some grief. The culprit? Permissions.

Specifically, the files from the 3.3.7 zipfile were all group writable and my server balked at that. I got an "Internal Server Error". Then, "this file is temporarily unavailable".

I had to do
Code:
chmod -Rv g-w ./*
in any and all directories that were refreshed.

Addition: I just forgot to point out that, after applying chmod in the way described above to all directories refreshed, GetSimpleCMS worked with no issues.

I have a suggestion. Either:
a) release 3.3.7 and further versions without the g+w bit set, or
b) make a note in the relevant page of the Wiki about setting up appropriate permissions post-upgrade.

Any of these measures would work well, imho.

Thanks!

how did you extract ?

by unzip. Everything was set with the mode 664.

Like unix "unzip"?

Sorry. That's right. The unzip I have available at my host is from Red Hat so yes, it's 'unix' unzip.

A small addition: I just updated the topic to make clear that after applying chmod, GetSimpleCMS worked very well and I have no further issues than this suggestion.
