Images within Shopsite are having Unix permissions set to 640 during an upgrade to version 4.3, resulting in broken images. (suEXEC)

Images within Shopsite are being set to 640 during an upgrade to version 4.3.

Solution ID: S03840

In Unix systems, the default permissions for all of the graphic files on an upgrade are set for 640. This can be a problem if suEXEC is in use. The installation process sets permissions so that the UID that the web server runs doesn't have access to them. This results in:
1) all broken images for the customer
2) the need to manually change permissions in several directories within shopsite-images.

Users must reset permissions on binaries after an upgrade or install.

An enhancement request has been submitted to set up file modification so that all graphic files have permissions of 644 (read write, read, read).

Work-around: Permissions on all of the images in this directory should be changed from 660 to 664.
