Core Download Permissions

[robertjw1]

I really love wp-cli, but I have noticed that every time I do a core download the permissions are wrong and the new installation won't run - Apache gives errors

I typically run this to fix the permissions
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ; # Change directory permissions rwxr-xr-x
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ; # Change file permissions rw-r--r--

Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something, but thought I would share. Thanks!

I've never had this issue. Maybe its a server configuration issue?
Besides that, I'm hesitant to run those commands because it will ruin any scripts that need the executable permission. i.e. all my shell/perl scripts.

[robertjw1]

Wasn't necessarily suggesting you add the commands, just passing along what I did. I only run that in the directory where I've done a new download.

wp core download

I wouldn't think you would want any executable scripts in the WP directory structure.

I think I'm running a pretty standard configuration. Running ubuntu with a standard Apache server.

If I get a few minutes I'll try to break it down further. I haven't had this problem when pulling a latest.tar.gz down and extracting it.

What do the permissions get set to? This is what I get:

Hmm... that's different than mine

Oh. Apache is probably running as www-data or similar. Your files are owned by bob. You need to run commands as www-data, or change ownership after you've downloaded.

[robertjw1]

Right, I assign ownership, and that's not your problem, but the permissions are different. Notice how mine are rw on the group, while yours aren't? Why are they different?

[robertjw1]

Probably a umask setting on my local system. Makes sense now. Thanks!

[captin411]

I wonder, should wp-cli warn if a umask looks suspect?

[danielbachhuber]

Could. Seems like a nice minor enhancement to throw a warning

[robertjw1]

My umask is the default Ubuntu setting of 002, something about USERGROUPS_ENAB defaulting to yes and giving group permissions to everything.
