Description Markus Schmidt 2005-01-15 12:22:06 UTC
The default permissions that webapp-config uses on phpBB installs are too restrictive.
- Custom avatars cannot be uploaded/used because the images/avatars path is root-owned (should be server-owned)
- The site owner cannot upload additional images, themes and languages, because these directories are root-owned (should be user-owned)

Better permission settings would be:
images: user-owned
images/avatars: server-owned
images/avatars/gallery: user-owned
languages: user-owned
templates: user-owned

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge phpBB
2. webapp-config -I -u myuser -h www.example.com -d forums phpBB 2.0.11

Actual Results:  
Permission of installed files are too restrictive

Expected Results:  
Better permission settings (see details)
