This will help you to easily set correct permissions on your linux/apache website files and directories with one command

As root cd to the ‘document root path’ of your website directory (ie: html, htdocs, httpdocs) and do as follows

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

or

find /path/to/docroot/. -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; && find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

this sets all your files to 644 and all your directories to 755

for example,

cd /var/www/html 

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