Hey All, I've searched and searched and am trying to figure out what is going on. Upon trying to install a template to a new site, I get a bunch of new errors. I have told my host and they advised me to do the following:
1. Change the following directories permissions to 777 (modules, media, mambots, components, images ) including the folders under admin directory.
2. Add the following line in the .htaccess file of your Joomla directory, Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
3. Then edit the file /home/user/public_html/administrator/includes/pcl/pclzip.lib.php as follows,
Search for the word mkdir in the file /home/user/public_html/administrator/includes/pcl/pclzip.lib.php
Add the following before that line, umask(0);
My question is why do I now have to do this to all of my Joomla sites? In addition, they claim it is a Joomla "bug". I really don't feel comfortable changing the folders number one, and second, to all of my sites???? This is a huge pain.
Can anyone out there tell me what is going on? That at least this dork (me) can understand.
Cheers.
Steve
