Hi,,
I use WP Super Cache from month, and no problem, but yesterday I found strange thing. I got this message!
Warning! /home/...../public_html/ is writable. Please make it readonly after your page is generated as this is a security risk.
And I know the default Permissions are:
public_html: 750
Files: 644
directories: 755
And that's Permissions in my site.

I think that's a bug in wp super cache,
Regards..

super cache uses chmod in one place in the script from what I remember and running it on your public_html folder was not what it was doing. I think it was in there as a fail safe in case the file couldnt be edited.
Also note, typically the main html dir your site is in is also chmod 755. At least on my server. I run a self managed dedicated machine, so unless I dont remember changing it, it came like that out of the box.
Are you sure its not complaining about "wp-content"? Check that file...

Warning! /home7/thesmas1/public_html/ is writable. Please make it readonly after your page is generated as this is a security risk.
I just received this message after deactivating all my plugins on the recommendation of simplescripts so I could update some security thing.
Obviously I am not a techie. So the above message mean nothing to me. How do I make my public_html safe as a read only??
I have just noticed the same message.
Yet my website's directory permissions are set to 755, which is, I believe, the correct setting: Read-Write-Execute for the User, and Read-Execute for Group and World.
If I restrict it more, my site displays a 403-forbidden page.
I think this is a bug, but would like to hear from a techie, as I not one either....

lutetia - your Apache server is probably running as the same user that owns the directory. You can ignore the message.
Great, thanks for clarifying that.
