Here’s how to reset your file and directory permissions if PHP is running through FastCGI, suPHP, or LSAPI:

1. find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

2. find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

3. chmod 550 pear

4. chmod 550 mage #for magento 1.5+

If PHP is running as a module (DSO), you will need to do this:

1. #for magento 1.5+

2. find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

3. find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

4. chmod o+w var var/.htaccess app/etc

5. chmod 550 mage

6. chmod -R o+w media

If you are running Pre 1.5 you can copy and paste this

1. find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

2. find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

3. chmod o+w var var/.htaccess app/etc

4. chmod 550 pear

5. chmod -R o+w media
