Need help with permission and user settings for production mode

[aarondesig0cea]

Hi everyone, i'm new here and im experiencing a lot of issues with permissions. I just today switched magento over to production mode and was faced with some permission issues. Since then ive been trying to fix them thru google searching and trying to follow others instructions, which I think at this point has got me a bit lost.

I've tried to follow the magento devdocs but they seem to only recognize a version of magento that uses "app/code" a folder which my version does not have. From the information i could gather, i think im facing a permission and user role/group issue, I'm able to still work but I had to set the var pub and generated folders to 777 which i know is a big no-no.

Oh and I'm using CentOS for this as well.

Thanks for the help!

Hello @aarondesig0cea 

For ideal Magento site, permission need to set as below for the security and performance reason.

• All directories should have 770 permissions. ...
• All files should have 660 permissions. ...

Please set this type of permission.

Hi deep_popat, thanks for the reply. Forgive me being such a noob, is this setting to be applied to everyone (all users)?

Also for CentOS would you have access or know the commands for CLI for this?

Thanks a bunch!

Hello @aarondesig0cea 

cd <your Magento install dir> 

// 644 permission for files
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; 
                   
// 755 permission for directory
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;    

chmod 644 ./app/etc/*.xml

chown -R :<web server group> .

chmod u+x bin/magento

Try the above commands.

Thanks for this, looks like the permissions are a bit different from what you said before?

Following these instructions give me the following error:
