Joomla! Documentation™

The Linux file permissions for version 3.0.0 are incorrectly set in the download archive files. The correct file permissions should be read/write only for the owner and read-only for group and other. In the 3.0.0 archives, this is incorrectly set as read-write for the owner and group members.

For example, if you do the command ls -l at the Joomla root folder, you will see:

-rw-rw-r-- ..... joomla.xml

Instead you should see:

-rw-r--r-- ..... joomla.xml.

You can fix this from the Linux command line by navigating to the root folder of Joomla and typing the next two commands:

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Note: This will be corrected automatically when you update to version 3.0.1.
