Public_html Permissons

The Zip Function on my server only works when the Public_html Folder is set to 777 This is dangerous i know the Public_html folder should be set to 750 or 755.But once i put it to 750 i get the 404 Not Found error and also .Once i set it to 755 The script on my server doesnt read the Zip_extension ive talked to the coder or my script and he has said its not his code but its the permissons. Here are the Ownership of the Public_html folder

public_html is just a symbolic link to domains/domain.com/public_html

That you try to root account;

chmod 755 /home/user/domains/domain.com/public_html

Script can not use the right way.
Do not edit the script?

chmod 777 public_html
Run the script
chmod 755 public_html

If it is a permission problem you need to switch your webserver install to use mod_ruid, php-fpm or fastcgi so everything executes as the user and not as the webserver user. There are many guides on the forum on how to switch things.
