Wordpress Setup

[jjma]

Hello,

Anyone running wordpress with media uploads working successfully care to share the permissions on their wp-content directory. I'm running php5, standard install and apache 1.3 with my perms as:

drwxr-xr-x 4 lond3on lond3on 4096 Feb 4 23:04 wp-content

Can't upload media because of permission problems which is fixed by setting 777. Although it is for only images I'm not keen on the 777 state.

777 is safe for WordPress. Just out of curiosity, why are you still using Apache 1.3?
You should upgrade to at least the 2.0.x series, if not the 2.x series.

Thank-you for your reply.

I don't use apache 2 yet because of php on apache 2 because php is not thread safe. The developers of php give their recommendations here:
