Thread:Project:Support desk/HTTP 500 error when localsettings.php permissions set to 600/reply (2)

Doesn't make any difference. I've tried various combinations and giving public read permissions is the only one that fixes the issue. Obviously I can't do that as the file contains the DB username and password which I don't want to be public.

I've done some further research and this problem appears unique to this host. Two other wikis I manage on two other hosts work fine with 600 permissions, including a carbon copy of the site I'm having trouble with.
