I am also having problems with file permissions, in V2.6.15. I ran into the posting problem yesterday which is described in the first post. This is on a new forum which had only been up for a day, less than 100 posts on it. Just to get the forum back up I ran a chmod 777 for all the files.
Then, figuring that something had happened to my permissions, I ran a clean install of a test forum. After I changed the permissions of the sub-directories in my production forum's Data Root directory to match the permissions of the clean install (711), I got fopen() errors for the cache subdirectory when I tried to change the name of one of the forums. The forum name was changed in the admin list but not in the home page display.
I was able to fix the problem by changing the permissions on cache to 733.
What relationship should a user and/or admin of the forum have with relation to the (linux) file permissions? At this point it seems that we must be "world".
Also, is there a list somewhere of what the file permissions normally are for a FUDforum on a linux system?
Thanks,
Astoria

I will try to find out.
The problem didn't start occurring right away; it seems to have started after one of the admins ran a "rebuild theme" on the default theme.
addendum: I just installed another piece of software, this time using a script provided by the hosting service, and when I tried to log into its admin account I also got file permission errors. Looks like this could be a problem with the hosting service rather than anything we did to our FUD installation.
Thanks for your time
