'''Using Joomla! Administration'''

In the Back-end, go to Site --> Global Configuration --> Server.

'''Using the UNIX shell'''

'''Note:''' The find command automatically assumes that it should start from the current directory. To be safe, go to your public_html directory and specify a path as the first argument. Some shells, such as bash on Apple OS X, must have a path specified in the find command.

 find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
 find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
 chmod 707 images
 chmod 707 images/stories
 chown apache:apache cache


'''Notes:'''
# Test all third party extensions after changing permissions.
# You may need to reset write permissions to install more extensions.
