[Mediawiki-l] About code permission

[Javier Lázaro]

Ok. I know that, but i meant which privileges must have the 
LocalSettings.php file, the images directory and the others php files, 
for example, 600, 640?? Who must be the owner, www-data, root,...? And 
the installation of mediawiki software, could it be made in another 
directory like /usr/share using an Alias directive in Apache to avoid 
problems with security?

I'm really interested in all this things cause i must administer a 
Debian. I would like to know how it is configured wikipedia, for example 
or another important mediawiki.

Thanks a lot!!!
