</div>Hi Prasad,<br>
<br>
The second suggestion should be chmod not chown (but I am sure that was<br>
just a typo) but there is no need to make anything writeable by all...<br>
The only process writing to anything in the vtiger tree should be apache.<br>
<br>
To be honest, the only thing I have ever *needed* to do after extracting<br>
the source tarball is to chown it to the apache user:group.<br>
<br>
In my experience, "Best/Standard Practice" would be to make all files<br>
rw-r--r-- (644) and all directories rwxr-xr-x (755) and then chown<br>
everything to the apache user:group or apache:nobody depending on the<br>
linux distribution.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
