Install Directory Permissions

Should the install directory be added to the list to change permissions for?

I find I can only run upgrade.php once I've run: 

 chmod 777 `find install/ -type d`
 chmod 666 `find install/ -type f`

Renamed Admin Directory

In inc/config.php the $config['admin_dir'] variable recommends you to rename your admin directory. I agree with this although there is nothing about it in the upgrade steps.

What I've started doing for my upgrades is to

  1. Close the forum
  2. Rename my directory back to 'admin' (but not change anything in config.php)
  3. Copy updated files across, set permissions, run upgrade.php, etc.
  4. Move directory back to its original location

This way it should be updated correctly. If others agree this is a good way to do it I'll add it to the Wiki article.
