Question about ServerStatus and chmod 777
Hi,
I was searching for server monitoring solution and came across https://qwdsa.com/converse/threads/serverstatus-rebuild.43/
This one looks promising but to be able to use cache I need to chmod 777 the cache file which consists html file. I hope it's safe since it's html? Also, is there way to prevent uptime.php file from remote server to be readable by any other user except that specific server? without IP limitation? Any other advice regarding it will be really thankful.

depending on your webserver setup you normally should not need to set any dir to 777 as your scripts hopefully run as a normal user and therefore apache/php can write to it.
my guess would be @mun simply specified this in his description to not have to deal with questions of users who don't make proper use of suexec/ruid2/itk etc. ;-)
I hardly understood second para but yes, cache is working without 777. It was specified in installation docs though. Also, IP limitation also worked fine but I may move the main file to different server which will require me to change IP in all server config. Any way to overcome it?
