Image Handler 4 (for v1.5.x) Support Thread

[lhungil]

Sorry ,I was a bit freaked by a couple of bruteforce password attacks and didn't ask a coherent question.The main images folder is ok with normal permissions.If I have 644 on files in the bmz_cache I keep getting errors - failed to open bmz cache for writing,permission denied in lines 645 and 655 in bmz_image_handler.class.php.It runs without errors with world write permissions.Is there something I should correct,or is that as it should be?

Sounds like your hosting provider may be running PHP using the web server's account (instead of an account created specifically for your website). In this case the web server's account must have write permission to the bmz_cache folder (as well as the Zen Cart image, cache, log, and other folders).

You can contact your hosting provider for more details on what permissions will be necessary (as they depend upon the server configuration). No further response to your questions about "security" and changing "permissions" will be answered by me in this thread. If your hosting provider is unable to assist you, you can start a new thread... But your hosting provider is the only one with all the relevant information on how their servers are configured.
