Subject: Request for assistance regarding folder permissions for script installation Message

1. It’s impossible to change permissions on free hosting. 2. It’s more of the developers being stupid instead of something else. The default permission is 755 and is definitely enough for your website to run properly. 775 is just strange and I don’t know why there are so many scripts asking for this permission. The best way is to ask the developers of the script to lower this restriction. If you know how to code, then you could probably patch the corresponding lines resposible for the check. If you don’t really need this exact script then you could also consider alternatives. Otherwise I’m afraid that the only option is to upgrade to premium which do have chmod.
