Hi there,

Background:
The site is a test site. I have Joomla! 1.5.7 and no added components or modules – I do have few templates.

Problem:
I am not allowed to change the permission of the template through ftp!
Details: 550 chmod 777 ja_rutile: Operation not permitted

I have not modified the template (obviously 😉
I have downloaded the source files byút am not allowed to add them to the templates folder.

1) How can I gain permission to change settings to 777
2) What should I do with the source files?

Hope you guys can help…

Regards.

HI
please chmod params.ini to 777 before do anything
after you change anything in tempate from backend, params.ini will unwriteable
Don’t worry about it

The whole problem is that I cannot chmod params.ini to 777 because I am not allowed to change those settings???

Regards.

I don’t understand your question

Yes, I can change other templates through their templates files.

When I go into the rutiles files through an FTP – I am denied access. I cannot delete the original logo and replace with my own, how can that be?

The bottom line: how can I change the logo?

Hope you can help.

the problem you are experiencing is due your FTP permissions, and thats not something joomlart creates. Just to give you an example, some FTPs might CHMOD the new uploaded files to 555 by default in any case, I’ve seen this problem on FTPS that are under PLESK. it happens more often than you think. (on plesk)

Easiest way to fix this is CHMOD’ing the files through an SSH application like Putty.
