 Recommended Permissions for CGI Scripts:

🔹 File Permission: 755

This means:

  • Owner can read, write, and execute

  • Group and Others can read and execute (but not write)

In symbolic notation: rwxr-xr-x
Numeric notation: 755

This is the standard permission setting that allows the script to run securely.
