I just finished a fresh install of Joomla Quickstart + JA Nex and I have the typical problem…all my folders are unwriteable.

Permissions are set to 744.

Also, I can’t save anything in template manager, which I think is related.

I spent countless hours reading about this issue but still have not found the problem.

does someone have suggestions on where to look?

thank you!

update – I changed the file param.ini to 777 and I am now able to save the template changes. However I don’t think it’s safe…there must be another issue somewhere.

you need to get with your host and have them correct you folder / file permissions. They should be 755 folder and 644 files. The may have you setup where you need ftp enabled to use joomla.

nope – I have root access to this server and everything is already at 755 and 644.

I think I figured it out. The folder owner needs to be shared with the user under which Apache runs. I changed it and it seems okay. More tomorrow when I work more on it.

there are a few ways of running php/apache.. what they call DSO is one and this requires what your talking about afaik.. been a LOT of years since I’ve admin’d at that level.. the better way is fcgi with DSO you need to use ftp layer with joomla with fcgi not so. But yes, having that set wrong would cause perms issues…
Can we close this thread?
