Is there somewhere that shows all of the correct permissions for the vital files? so i can avoid this in the future
See
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=121470
and
docs.joomla.org/Joomla_Administrators_Security_Checklist
The standard, default permissions that get assigned to files and directories by the server are normally;
Files = 644 and Directories = 755
These permissions would allow, for files;
644 = rw- r-- r-- = Owner has Read and Write
Group has Read only
Other has Read only
and for directories;
755 = rwx r-x r-x = Owner has Read, Write and Execute
Group has Read and Execute only
Other has Read and Execute only
