Oh thank god for that!

I'd actually done something similiar once... I'd removed a bunch of permissions using chmod -R /   rather than chmod -R . ... This was on an oldold NCR Tower 32 running SVR3. I ended up writing a program to go through the archives on tape (yes, tape) and copy only the permission bits from all the tape files.

Anyway, a better form of that command is chmod -R a+rX

The capital X means "only set the execute bit if any execute bits are set". If you use lower-case x, then you'll send up setting the execute bit for normal files, too, which is another potential security risk. If you want to fix this up, do:

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod a-x

chmod a+x manage.py # Restore x for the Django management command

Protip: always use the -print0 | xargs -0  form of the "find/xargs" pattern, as this will prevent spaces in your paths from causing havoc.

I wish I knew of a better way to set the x bits all the way up the tree, without giving someone a program to run, the best I can come up with is:

cd static

chmod a+x . .. ../.. ../../.. ../../../.. ../../../../.. ../../../../../.. ../../../../../../..

and hope that's enough :)
