titleFTP software

If you do not have terminal access to your server, you can change file access permissions using an FTP client. Most of them have the "Change permissions" or "Change mode" functions. With the help of the function, you are to set the permissions for the 'config.php' file and the directories listed above. The 'chmod 666 config.php' command means that you must set 666 permissions (in other words, read, write and execute permissions for the file user, group, and otherothers) for the 'config.php' file. Other commands (e.g. 'chmod -R 777 catalog') means mean that you must set the same 777 permissions for the directory, its sub-directories and all the files under these directories. Please refer to your FTP client documentation for more detailed instructions on setting file permissions

For Linux/Unix-based servers make sure the following folders and files are writable  (only for the installation! After installation, you should remove the /install/ directory and set more secure permissions for directories 755, files 644. Files like index.php and /system/config.php should be disabled for writing, based on your server configuration set 644 or 444)

...

Set 644 or 640 permissions (444, or even 400 depending on your server setupconfiguration) for the system/config.php and /index.php files! Only working directories needs to be 777 as cache, resources, images, and logs. PHP files should not be 777 on the live site.
