G'day there!

I noticed that the permissions on several plugins folders were set to 777 in version 1.5.16. I changed these to 755.

EDIT: I removed a line here because I think I made a mistake. I've been struggling with a problem for three days and am getting confused.

I checked out another Joomla installation (my play Joomla on a free host, V 1.5.16) and found the permissions in question to be set to 755.

It's my understanding that all files should be set to 644 and all folders to 755. Is this correct?

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks,
Laurie.
