[SOLVED] System Information root_path shows a red X

What does it mean when a red "X" is displayed next to the root_path variable in the System Information screen?  The Help link next to the "X" doesn't provide any useful information.  The path shown is /home/path/public_html (0755), which is correct and matches the root_path variable in config.php.  I have done a forum search for "root_path", and didn't see anything that helped me.

The odd thing is that my site displays fine.  If the root_path is a problem, how can I see my site?

I am having some FrontEndUsers and CustomContent issues (can log in, but the protected content is not displayed).  I'm thinking they may be related to this root_path issue, since I can't find anything else that would be causing the problem.  I'm also having the Image Manager issue described here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... html.  Not sure if this could also be related to the root_path problem.

The entire site was working perfectly before upgrading from 1.4.1 to 1.5.2.

Fixed by changing the permissions of the root_path to 774.  Is that the best setting?  It also works with 777, but I figured 774 was at least a little more restrictive...
