Joomla FreeBSD port file permissions
The FreeBSD port of Joomla 2.5.11 has the file ownership and permissions of the joomla directories
set as: Code:
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel Code:
-r--r--r-- 1 www www The Apache webserver runs as user www and thus cannot modify/write the configuration and remove the Joomla installation directory, that for the sake of security, needs to be done. So the only way out is to temporarily loosen the permissions and then restore them after configuration. Is this normal or am I missing something?

This was my first experience with Joomla!.
I understand the configuration case is special, but why not a message that in order to configure you temporarily need to adjust permissions. Now I had to google for that solution. Maybe I am too spoiled by OpenBSD packages, where usually configuration tips or hints like this are given .
