I used http://yourgeeklogsite/admin/install/check.php while installing and found that I require to chmod all the required files to 777 otherwise it was showing not writable. Should I now change all of them back to 775? Thanks for your response. It is 0230 hrs in my place and will fall down with sleep, I will check your response in the morning. Thanks for the replies.

If the tests fail with 775 or 755, you should leave them at 777 or Geeklog will not be able to write to these files/directories either.

Depending on the sort of hosting you have, you may need to change ownership of the files (to the webserver user) for more restrictive permissions. If you can't do that, you may have to leave them at 777. It's not a security issue per se - you would still need some other vulnerability to make use of a world-writable directory.
