I have had trouble with improper access to some of my files, and some have been corrupted. I am in the process of cleaning.
Regarding permissions, should htaccess files be 777 or 755?
Also, there is one htaccess file in one blog directory with this code-
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /muse/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /muse/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The file ends with a .d
This looks suspicious. I ask because I need to know how serious it may be that this file as been on my blog for awhile.
Also, I have sitemap plugins working. (I don’t know which one off hand) Should the permissions for sitemaps (.xml and xml.gz) be 777 or 755 or less?
Thanks for any help.
