I chmod all directories to rwx-r-xr-x (755) and all files to rw-r--r-- (644). (Long story why I needed to do that.) Anyway, next time I access my photo site I get: 500 Internal Server error.

A file must need execute privileges, or a dir that needs 777??

Could a kind soul give me a list, or point me to a list  that shows which files and/or directories in piwigo need the looser permissions?

Pleeease?

I'm in a bit of a panic here, and would really appreciate a clear, step-by-step answer. Nothing changed between having a functional site and the 500 server error except the permission changes.

I'm using 2.4.7.  local/config/database.inc.php has the correct data.   local/config/config.inc.php also has the correct data although it doesn't seem to have anything relevant to this problem.

In the tools dir, key2value.php, pwg_rel_create.sh, and replace.php I changed back to 755 permissions. In the original unpacked dirs on my computer, those three were the only ones I could find with 755 permissions.

But there have to be more because I'm still getting the 500 error. Help!
