Thread: Notice for v3.2 (patch 1) Users

If you are using aeDating v3.2 (patch 1), which has the new aeDating coded database backup feature in the admin panel, you need to make sure your /backup directory is protected from web browsing by one of these three methods:

1) .htaccess file
2) index.html file
3) or turn off directory browsing in your web server configuration file

If you do not, others will be able to browse your backups directory and download your sql files (with all your user information and emails).

Though aeDating supplies an .htaccess file, you should be certain that others can not browse this directory. You can check it by entering the following in your web browser:
http://www.mysite.com/backup (replace mysite with your domain name).

should the code be 770 for:
/id_img/
/inc/
/backup

Thanks

After install, you should chmod the entire aedating directory to 755

# chmod 755 -R aedating

Then, chmod these items to 777

# chmod -R 777 articles
# chmod -R 777 tmp
# chmod -R 777 id_avi
# chmod -R 777 id_img
# chmod -R 777 id_wav
# chmod -R 777 sdating/photo_place
# chmod -R 777 styles_*.css
# chmod -R 777 langs/lang-*.php
# chmod -R 777 backup

Edited: I had the -R in the wrong place , but it is correct now.
