    • Hiya template experts,

      I have a question that is half about templates and half admin

      Essentially, I have a recent install of Joomla 1.5.11. I unzipped locally then uploaded using "myUserID" so all the files within Joomla are owned by "myUserID".

      When I installed the rocket template, all the files under there are owned by "nobody". I dont have the privileges to do a "chown" to "myUserID" so I seem to be stuck unable to, for example, change logo.png to customize it.

      So, here are the questions.

      1. Whats the best way to overcome this?
      2. Ideally, who should own all the files under my /public_html/joomla1511 directory (assuming Joomla is installed there)

      :shock:

      Thanks!

    • Hello,

      You should be able to change file permissions for your files either by using your webhosting control panel or by using your ftp client.

      I would contact your webhost for more help on this.

    • Makes sense.

      Ideally, though for a Joomla installation what user should own all the files in the Joomla install? Would it be better (and is it possible?) to manually install the templates?

    • Also, isnt it strange that when I upload a template, its a different user than my FTP user? Could this be a problem with my FTP setup? I've pointed the FTP Root to the same place where Joomla is installed (in my case, /public_html) and provided the userid and password...

      argh.
