Index.php permissions error

  • Index.php permissions error

    Posted 16 years 5 months ago
    • Being a newbie, I think I've screwed up my permissions whilst editing my Versatiltiy4 HTML file in Joomla!1.5.7 - please help!

      All was working fine (relatively speaking) until I tried to add padding to my right column following advice from the brilliant Firebug:

      After my edit, save failed stating that there was an error saving /public_html/templates/rt_versatility4_j15/index.php due to a permissions error...

      After some forum reading, I then decided to change my index.php permissions to 0656, and hey presto, my edit had saved successfully.

      Problem is, when I try to access my home page to check... I now receive this error message:

      "A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again."

      Here are my file and folder permissions:

      public folder: 0711
      template & rt_versatility4_j15 folders 0755
      index.php 0644 (have tried 0656 too)

      I have also tried copying a fresh index.php file across but this doesn't work either

      Please help!!

      Thanks

      Steve

    • It seems that the problem is at a higher level, as none of my standard templates work either, and I haven't altered these? I receive the same error message...

    • Check if the permissions of the folders are set to 0755 and of the files to 0644.

    • Hi Yves, yes all are as you suggest. I have only changed my templates/versatility4/index.php, and now not even my standard templates work...

    • Issue resolved, thanks for your help...

      It was the index.php in the public folder that was classified incorrectly, this is now at 0644 as you suggest and works fine.

      Thanks v much for your help
