    Rofl 0700 for folders?? It will save your website, but you also wont be able to see it.

    Just make folders 0755 and files 644 and you should be ok, mabye make things like config completely unwriteable and just hand edit them, almost all the config is in the db anyway so you shouldn't need to change it.
