I figure I will do a little home work on this before I make any moves in the next 2 to 6 weeks. Thinking of upgrading but need to know more about this PHPsuexec and the chmod 777 and 755 issue it poses with the SMF forum script.
I know that the PHPsuexec makes things more secure yes but more secure breaking my forums is not a option! I have read of issue on other forums with PHP forum scripts and PHPsuexec not playing nice after changing the chmod from 777 to 755.
Anyone here with SMF or any of the forum scripts really on servers with PHPsuexec already enabled would you please share your experiences. Good bad or what?
Back in March I had tested SMF RC2 with changed chmod to 755 and some mods would quit working and the package manager would not work for me at all. Maybe a bug in RC2 I don't know.
But right now I have the test forum I need to fix still. Broke it testing a beta Mod. And I have 3 live forums all RC2. So I don't want to upgrade and move to a server with PHPsuexec enabled it it is going to break my forums. Thus doing some home work here to see if others are having any issues/problems. Or has all been OK
Thanks in advance for any and all input.
