Xenforo Xenforo directory permissions, deleting addons

The Xenforo installation guide https://community.centminmod.com/th...on-centmin-mod-123-09beta01-lemp-stack.16060/ lists these commands:

Code:

cd /home/nginx/domains/yourdomain.com/public
chmod 0777 internal_data data

Missing are the "js" and "src" folders that addons get installed into. The addons work, but when you try to uninstall & delete the files via the ACP, you get an error.

Is it safe to change those folder permissions to 0777 as well? Or must we manually delete the addons' files after uninstalling them?

It defaults to 755. I think this was discussed before, but I couldn't find it. Just this related one for installing styles that only mentions ownership: https://community.centminmod.com/threads/xf-2-2-2-cannot-install-style.20812/

Code:

chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/yourdomain.com/public

Oh, I just came across this: Nginx Rewrites for Xenforo Friendly Urls - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, which lists:

Code:

find /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0644
find /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0755
find /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/internal_data/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0777
find /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/data/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0777
find /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/internal_data/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0777
find /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/data/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0777
chmod 0755 /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public

So I'm guessing that if someone put 777 on js and src that's not safe and they should rerun the commands above, and we have to manually delete addon files?

EDIT:
Oh, I think the 777 vs 755 may not have mattered at all for not being able to delete files. It looks like the "chown -R nginx:nginx" command is adequate for that. And the issue stems from logging into Filezilla with 'root' user to upload addons.

 

Hmm, I never considered that. I just tested the option and I get this message:
