Whenever I make changes with Movable Type I get SBOX errors.

By default, Movable Type creates new files and directories as world writable. On our system, this is needless and will cause SBOX errors.

Fixing the problem is easy; you just need to change Movable Type's configuration text file. The file is typically at /htdocs/www/cgi-bin/mt.cfg, or /htdocs/www/cgi-bin/mt-config.cgi for MT 3.2+. You can edit the file via a shell or by FTP. The original settings are:

# HTMLPerms 0777
# UploadPerms 0777

Remove the #, and change the settings to:

HTMLPerms 0755
UploadPerms 0755
(notice that there are no longer # symbols preceding the lines)

This change will halt the SBOX errors. Plus, your site will be more secure.
