So I tried to change the directorypermissions setting, which is introduced in lib/config-defaults.php I did not succeed, so I investigated further. In uploadmanager.php the chmod command uses the constant value 0700 for the permissions instead of the config value directorypermissions, so it seems the config value is not working and unused. In my environment I need to change those default setting 0700, because I'm not the server admin and backups are needed with every version update. I changed the source code of Mahara as a quick&dirty workaround, but in further versions this problem could be avoided. Mahara 1.3.6, OS Linux, Database MySQL, Firefox 3.6.14 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : mahara-contributors@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
