@tommy: Kat is right, at this stage there is definitely nothing left we can do here. Changing permission is a very basic feature of any hosting service. In fact it's so normal that it's not even listed in any hosting plan feature. Or else change hosting company
@Kat: my pleasure. Actually i wish i had more time to give back to the RT forum but i have too much to do. - Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, L. Da Vinci

Hi Guys Just tagging on this one. I can change the file permissions with Filezilla the problem is what should they be changed to to work permanently without leaving a security hole in my site? I regularly change files from 644 to 777 and back again but is there as setting which i can permanently set them to?
So far i am changing from 644 to 777 and back again when i need. but as i start working with more files i am starting to worry about not changing some of them back again. I am manually editing the following files.
/configuration.php
/templates/params.ini
/templates/css

- It has nothing to do with the template, it's an "issue" with Joomla so you may want to ask there.
- Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

Strange answer
I want to change style and font. doesnt this have to do with rockettheme and not joomla?
Rockettheme has produced mixmag and also the different styles and fonts, and i can´t change this.

@Tommy: you should bring that up in the mixmag forum for changing the font styles.
Regarding the template, there is nothing different or strange with the templates besides that we've seen localization file template appearing, which is good as it opens new horizon for the RT; and some new great template features etc....
@itsus: changing permission on and off should not be necessary. The best approach is to have either your own local server to test, develop, and build your site where you don't have to worry about security. This can be achieve using XAMP or MAMP depending on what OS you are.
Or you can create a sub domain on your server on line, restrict the access so it's not accessible to the world and work on it.
Once you are finish then you can change the permission back to a "secure" level as suggested by the security team of joomla! Unless forgotten changes, you should not have to play around with these files anymore. They should be left alone.
if i may ask, how come you need to constantly change these files? - Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, L. Da Vinci

Hi Bob
Your quite right i shouldnt be changing these params all the time but as i am still developing the site i need to make constant changes such as those outlined below.
Change params.ini to alter the colour picker
Change configuration.php to Save some global changes such as FTP passwords.
Change the template.css to alter the logo image size.
I will check on Joomla sites for the recommended setting for permissions.
Thanks

are you developing live?
i hope not cause it's definitely not a good practice to do so.
If you don't, then why don't simply give the proper permission to the files, and when you are all done, change them back before going live.
i have been developing site with joomla for since its debut, and i tried many different ways and by trial and error, i found that the best way is simply to work on your computer using XAMP or MAMP or what ever server system. It's faster, you don't rely on the internet connection so you can even work on it where ever you are, having a laptop of course. By working locally you don't need to worry about permissions cause you are the only seeing the site.
Then when everything is done, zip everything, get a dump file of your db, and upload everything on your server. Then just simply change all the permission to have a "secure" site and off you go. - Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, L. Da Vinci

Hello,
may be can help. I agree that it has something to do with the filepermissions on server. It should be always possible to change permissions from the controlpanel of your hoster. If you install something from joomla, joomla(apache ) is the owner of that file and there could be problems with ftp acess. It must be a strange configuration of the server. I have these problems too. So a good possibility is to install the joomla component Joomla-extplorer(file management) and change permissions from there.You can even edit the ini file from there. But I had another problem with ini files. I changed the permissions and then the server automaticly changed it back :shock: . Serverconfiguration as well!!
In that case to edit the ini file I changed the file ending to txt, edited the file, saved it and then renamed it again to ...ini. This was the only way it worked. Its all about Server safety I think but strange. I hope I could help, sorry for my english.
So long Melf
