I am seeing this message:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /home/961/alk/www.a-l-kennedy.co.uk/public_html/joomla/modules/mod_janews/helper.php on line 106

At the top of one of my JA News articles.

I’ve gone into the specified folder and files and changed permissions but the error message remains

It may not be caused by that folder, but the plugins folder. Verify all your joomla folders are set to writable where needed;

Go to: Admin CP -> Help Menu -> System Info -> Directory Permissions

All of those should be set to writable along with sub directories within the /images folder.

So all those folders listed need to be set to writable? If so, then I didn’t know that

Yeah, they all need to be writable – there’s a lot of holes in the joomla documentation. 🙁

Have just started changing permissions and now find that I can’t get into admin [blank page] and all my content is gone from my front end. Is there somewhere where I can check the correct permission settings for joomla?

Have you changed the permissions for the folders only? Do not change the permissions for the files inside.

They need to be set to 777.

I’ve attached a screenshot of one of my sites.

Make sure you’ve not moved any folders by accident also.

Grr it looks like ja automatically resize images attached. Uploading to imageshack.

OK found it online. Sorry for the panic. I’ve got my content back but can’t get into admin –

It looks like you’ve not set the permissions correctly to 777.

I’ve set permissions on administrator/templates to 777 and although I can get to the admin opening page, I cannot enter my username or password. Instead I get the usual admin login screen but no field for username and password, just

DESCUSEVALIDLOGIN

Return to site Home Page

Aargh!

Thanks for that list. I worked through it methodically and am now able to access admin. I must have had one of the permissions wrong.

Not a problem. Hopefully components/modules/plugins should be a lot easier to install and configure for you now.

I just wanted to mention that it is not recommended to leave the settings at 777 after you have finished working on the site as it leaves it open to intruders. It is probably best to chage it back to 755 when you are done.
