File extraction with incorrect 666 permissions

[awucweb]

As reported via email to George Dawoud - When the latest build 2.1.8 was extracted on a shared sever the default file permission is set to 666 which results in a 403 permission denied error. To correct this I changed permissions to 644 and could proceed with setup.

I may be wrong on this, but I believe that ZIP files do not maintain permissions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10735297/maintain-file-and-folder-permissions-inside-archives

Therefore, when extracting the files, the application administrator [you] must make sure that the permissions are correct.

For your interest - Extracted 2.2.0-RC1.zip on server and still had 666 on files. Also discovered that folder permissions 777 were also bringing up 403 error changed to 755 and could access 'Email' and 'Sunday School' links.
