Hi All,
I install a tracking script on a folder and everything working fine, until I create a tracking link. It says “can’t open file”. I submitted a support ticket and they suggest to change the file permission of the folder (where script installed) to 755 or 777. I try with 755 but it didn’t work, only 777 make it works.
My concern is off course the security. They suggest me to call the hosting :(
I’m running Ubuntu 12.04 x32 on my droplet.
Anyone can shed the light on this?
Thanks tony

Have you tried changing the ownership of the folder?? <br> <br>chown user:group folder_name <br> <br>and then just set it to 755 <br> <br>chmod 755 folder_name <br> <br>see if that works
Thanks disturbedrod,
<br>
<br>I did change to 755 but the script insist to have 777.
<br>
<br>The developer recommend to install suPHP. Then set the folder to 755.
<br>
<br>I try searching here of any tutorial but not available.
<br>
<br>I’m concern if I install suPHP on running server, it will create havoc on my sites on it.
<br>
<br>Could you help shed the light on suPHP or point me to the right tutorial?
<br>

Sorry mistype on ownership: <br> <br>Change ownership: <br>chown script_folder:root script_folder
