CHMOD after installation complete

[brin]

Before the installation we are required to CHMOD the files. My questions is do I set the permissions back to default after the installation is complete?

I am done installing and my current files have these permissions:

config.php = "666"

Modules recursive = "777"

tmp recursive = "777"

uploads recursive = "777"

Is this alright?

If you are done installing and things look good change config.php to 444 and try to tighten the others if you can like 775 instead of 777

775

or should/can I do 755?

Thanks for the speedy reply!! Appreciate it.

Tighten it as much as you can, you can try 775 and see 755 and see if your host accepts it and things work
