installer (setup-config.php) chmod to 0604 so I can’t change wp-config

    The wordpress installer uses setup-config.php to create and change the wp-config.php file.

    After making all the changes it chmods the file to
    chmod(‘../wp-config.php’, 0604);
    However since it is running as apache this means that I as a user can not download, view, edit or chmod my wp-config.

    I get
    SITE CHMOD 777 /path/wp-config.php
    Response: 550 /path/wp-config.php: Operation not permitted

    My server adminstrators do not bend over backwards (to say the least) to help so I need to work out a way to write a php script to chmod or chown the file to something that I can access.

    If I just write a php file with
    chmod(‘../wp-config.php’, 0777);
    and other one to put it back will that work?

    I think that perhaps chmod is a wordpress php function maybe…

    Is no one else having this problem?

    We edit the config file manually before the installation process starts. So, we don’t have this problem.

    Thank you for your response. I did not seem to get a notification, so it is a good thing I　noticed. I　think would have done it manually too if I had know what the installer was going to do to me.

    Fortunately I have found the following file manipulation softwaret that includes a chmod function.

    which seems to be able to chmod wp-config.
