Models permission in Yii2

Question

I need to give 766 permission to common/models in order to generate files using gii module. But when I do that 'Class 'common\\models\\User' not found' error is thrown. It only works for 755 permisson. What is the problem?

Answer 1

766 permission does work only when the file owner is the web server (apache) . So 766 wont work if the web server is not the owner of the directory.

766 means:

Owner can: Read/Write/Execute.
Group can: Read/Write.
Public can: Read/Write.

755 means:

Owner can: Read/Write/Execute.
Group can: Read/Execute.
Public can: Read/Execute.
