New client has a link submission/exchange script (PHP). It requires the ability to create and edit directories as links and categories are added and changed. Seems the only permissions that work are 0777 for the containing directory.
On her previous server, she ran this in the www directory (htdocs on that box), and it worked fine. On our server, it would require leaving the www (public_html) directory at 0777. I feel this is a bad idea, no?
What are the options?
Make a new directory for this script and make that 0777 (not really fixing the security issue)? Get a new script (but wouldn't that also need the same sort of permissions)?
Anyone?
