For your convenience, I have reproduced the contents of fix_permissions.sh:
#!/bin/bash
path=${1%/}
user=${2}
group="www"
help="\nHelp: This script is used to fix permissions of a drupal installation\nyou need to provide the following arguments:\n\t 1) Path to your drupal installation\n\t 2)
Username o$
want to give files/directories ownership\nNote: \"www-data\" (apache default) is assumed as the group the server is belonging to, if this is different you need to modify it
manually$
script\n\nUsage: (sudo) bash ${0##*/} drupal_path user_name\n"
if [ -z "${path}" ] || [ ! -d "${path}/sites" ] || [ ! -f "${path}/modules/system/system.module" ]; then
echo "Please provide a valid drupal path"
echo -e $help
exit
fi
if [ -z "${user}" ] || [ "`id -un ${user} 2> /dev/null`" != "${user}" ]; then
echo "Please provide a valid user"
echo -e $help
exit
fi
cd $path;
echo -e "Changing ownership of all contents of \"${path}\" :\n user => \"${user}\" \t group => \"${group}\"\n"
chown -R ${user}:${group} .
echo "Changing permissions of all directories inside \"${path}\" to \"750\"..."
find . -type d -exec chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o= {} \;
echo -e "Changing permissions of all files inside \"${path}\" to \"640\"...\n"
find . -type f -exec chmod u=rw,g=r,o= {} \;
cd $path/sites;
echo "Changing permissions of \"files\" directories in \"${path}/sites\" to \"770\"..."
