I have a library I am trying to use. To install it I need to give it some permissions to write to:
settings/settings.inc.php (to store settings)
settings/files.inc.php – (store information about generated sitemap; only useful for small websites)
Should I allow it? Or is it too dangerous? I am not sure what those files really do 🙂 but it seems important 🙂
Yes, if you really want to use it. It seems it’s just just trying to write the settings and maybe the files for caching. But to be sure, look in the source code.
Or check Google if this library is known as legit
Maybe giving some more information about the library (name?!) would help too.
