correct file permissions for the tp folder
« on: February 04, 2010, 08:13:23 PM »
Hi

I would like to know what file permissions to use for the tp folder and all its files? What files can i chmod 644 and 755?
Also, is there a way to lock the admin part so that only my ip can access it?

777 all files and folders. You can protect it with htaccess or some other trick, your host should do it for you.

IMHO IP restriction is not needed at all, with non default username and password, it would take years to break into admin area with generating usernames/pwd's.
