Hi,

I've successfully installed Eventum and everything looks perfect. However, I'd like to make sure my permissions are setup correctly (and securely!).

As the last installation page suggests, I loaded up www.mysite.com/eventum/setup/check_permissions.php to see if it could find any problems, but the "Comments" it gives are a bit unclear to me. So I have 3 questions I'm hoping someone could advise me on:

1) Says "Base directory should be read only by your web server." This means chmod 444 or ... ?

2) Says "Log directory should be writable by your webserver. However, your web server should NOT be able to read this directory to prevent outsiders from viewing your logs." Thus chmod should be ... ?

3) "The setup file should be both readable and writable from your web server. The setup file is used to store general settings. Note: Once you have eventum configured, you can mark this file as 'read only' if you want" Same question :-)

P.S. FYI I'm on a standard shared web hosting package, it it helps.
