My new installation of FUDforum was working fine until I locked and unlocked the files, then it broke.

Unlocking files seems to set permissions to 777, but my (shared) host has php configured to prevent inclusion of files with world write (presumably to prevent running scripts which may have been changed by a guest, although how a guest would get access to a file to change it I am not sure). This may be a common situation in cPanel/WHM environments with PHP as a cgi.

When I reset everything to 755 it worked fine.

I an understand why you might want to 777 the files, because in a with PHP as an Apache module they will normally be created with user and group nobody because of the way your installation routine works. However with php as a cgi set up correctly it is not necessary because the files are owned by your user.

Could you have a configuration option to toggle unlocking between 777 and 755? Come to think of it, this is not necessary, you could just optionally disable unlocking/locking so it is not done by mistake.
