Failing to load all theme style php files [Internal Server Error / folder permissions / chmod]

edited August 2015 in Theme support
Client moved hosting companies and the site looks slightly off.  Upon further inspection I see in the browser console that it is failing to load style.php and style-colors.php with a status of 500.

Checking into permissions problems I found that the host (hostgator in this instance) requires directory permissions to be 755 instead of 775 and file permissions to be 644 instead of 664.  Essentially they don;t like the "group" permissions.  Once I changed this all was well in the world again.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone else ran across this.
