Ok, I bet I know what my problem is: What does "chmod" mean? Because I doubt I'm doing it.
Using the command 'chmod' will set the read/write/execute-Settings of specific files/folders on your server. Using this command you are able to set the 'rights' of a file: so some files may be executed or even modified by the server, some not, concerning the chmod:
What do those CHMOD numbers mean? 777: all can read/write/exec 755: owner can do all, group/others can read/exec 644: owner can read/write, group/others can read only
For Directories: 777: all can read, write, search 755: owner can do all, others and group can only search
Typical settings: cgi scripts: 755 data files: 666
configuration files: 644 (files not updated by scripts) directories: 777 (with proper permissions on files in directory)
Security tip: chmod a script to 400 if you want to disable it. You can always chmod it to 755 when you want to run it again.
