Hello Rob

Thank you for your feedback. We were debating whether to remove the 777 from the guide to force users to contact their host to get the correct setting. I know the Official ZenCart install guide states "directories to 777" but as you mentioned this could cause issues in the future. I think we will update the guide to remove the 777, suggest 644 for files and also advise that this step can be skipped unless they fail on the System Inspection page.

Thanks again
