This is what my programmer (They’re having problems) told me to ask, it’s a quote.

“just tell them,we can not edit these files.i got the message Access denied. r files read only?”

Any help would be appreciated, or direction on where to get help w/ Xenia

Which files are they trying to edit – and how are they trying to access them?

If this is on your server, you need to make sure the files are set up with the right ownership and chmod them to either 755 or 777 ( change them back after necessary changes are done )

I cannot see any other solution than this. If you are hosting this on a server you might have to contact your host to fix this. Did you upload the template through the Joomla template uploader or through ftp?

Hi it sounds like you have a problem with your server. Have you tried to edit the template or CSS in the Joomla admin Site>Template Manager>Site Templates? Also did you check to see if the Make unwriteable after saving is unchecked?
Also, try to ftp into the site and chmod the files to 755 or 777. If using dreamweaver connect to the remote files, right click the file you want to change and select change permissions, then check all the boxes to make it 777 then click ok or save.

It’s a permission error, you’ll need to ask your hosting company to fix it.

However, as it appears to be your own server I’m not sure how exactly to do it but here’s my cheat 😛
Rename the joomlart template’s folder to xxx2, so if you have /joomla/templates/ja_xenia, rename to /joomla/templates/ja_xenia2.. then, create a new folder called joomla/templates/ja_xenia and copy all the files from the number 2 folder to the number 1 folder.. that should hopefully work.

Yes, as MiCCAS says, it is an ownership issue. Most likely the files are now owned by “nobody”. Which isn’t good for ftp or any changes as you are logged on as a user with username and password and you can only change those files with corresponding username. In other words, the files need the same username as your ftp username in order to be able to modify them.
