Liveupdate does not fully check permission on local file system before updating

[ghost]

Sometimes the folder permissions are changed here and there for adding other modules, updating system and config files or custom edits.

The LiveUpdate function only checks a few file/folder locations for correct write permissions. Would it be possible to check all files/folders for correct permissions before upgrading.

This will prevent downloading the 3MB file, and then when writing all the files, it fails in many places due to incorrect permissions.

Perhaps permissions checking button, to write out a report of all the problem files/folders before you start with the live update. Or perhaps a modified version of the system check, which scans the folders files in the existing TL site.

e.g. readytoupgrade.php (in the root or system)

Changing the permissions does not necessarily mean that the live update will not work anymore. The maintenance module does only a quick check to ensure that the Safe Mode Hack has been enabled if it is required. It is not supposed to check all files and folders.

To check all files and folders, please use the system check tool.

I was unaware that the system check tool does this, as I only assumed it checks permissions for blank installations (before TL is installed).
