777 Permissions - needed?: http://www.i2-services.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=137

Pre-purchase questions:

Do any files/folders permissions need to be set to 777 and if so, will 755 work just as well. Some Hosts prevent setting 777.
Will PHP Mem Manager protect a folder that contains Content Management scripts such as Drupal, Geeklog, Joomla as well as E-Commerce programs like CubeCart, OS Commerce, and Zen Cart and make those accessible by members only and run without extra scripting (other than what each requires itself)?

There are a few folders which require the 777 permission. If your host does not allow this 755 should work fine for the software to create files in those folders.

All the web based software you mentioned operate in different ways so its tough to say "yes" for all of them. Also can vary depending upon the type of protection you use.

The basic .htaccess authentication should be no problem for all of them as you would be protected an entire folder using .htaccess.

You may with some of them be able to add the protection code to the top of the .php files in areas of the software to protect it.
