403 ERROR WHEN TRYING TO INSTALL CMSB - Jul 26th, 2022


User w2kd discovered this when trying to activate CMSB running php 7.4 and folders set to 755 and files 666 file
permissions.

According to Daniel Louwe, Technical Lead at interactive Tools:

Some webservers will not open files with certain permission configurations - in particular they will prevent access to
files that are too permissive. In this case, having the permissions set to 666 allows anyone to write to the file, which
was likely the cause of the issue. Tightening the permissions to 644 (only the owner of the file has write access)
satisfies the webserver's rules.
