Title:
  directorypermissions setting not working

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On the server our Mahara installation is hosted on, the Mahara
  administrator (which is me) does not have server admin rights. So I
  tried to change the directorypermissions setting, which is introduced
  in lib/config-defaults.php

  I did not succeed, so I investigated further. In uploadmanager.php the
  chmod command uses the constant value 0700 for the permissions instead
  of the config value directorypermissions, so it seems the config value
  is not working and unused.

  In my environment I need to change those default setting 0700, because
  I'm not the server admin and backups are needed with every version
  update. I changed the source code of Mahara as a quick&dirty
  workaround, but in further versions this problem could be avoided.

  Mahara 1.3.6, OS Linux, Database MySQL, Firefox 3.6.14
