Resetting File Permissions

Here's how to reset your file and directory permissions for Magento back to their default and secure permissions:

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
chmod 550 pear

For Magento 1.5.x or later:

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
chmod 550 mage

The above commands need to be executed from the root directory where Magento is installed.
