PDO is required by the RokGallery. and basically a PDO it serves as an interface for accessing databases in PHP. You can enable this via cpanel or you can ask your provider to enable this for you. Or I can help you with this in about 1 hr.
For the writting permisions this how it works.
There is three groups whom my access your file or folder.- Owner
- Group
- Others
when you have set your write permissions (CHMOD) to 757,
[*]Owner = 7 = read, write and execute permissions. Everything is allowed
[*]Group = 5 = read and execute permissions. Read and execute access are allowed
[*]Others = 7 = read, write and execute permissions. Everything is allowed
Digit Text Octal Equivalent Meaning ----- ---------- --------------------------------- 0 --- All types of access are denied 1 --x Execute access is allowed only 2 -w- Write access is allowed only 3 -wx Write and execute access are allowed 4 r-- Read access is allowed only 5 r-x Read and execute access are allowed 6 rw- Read and write access are allowed 7 rwx Everything is allowed
you can find here information about PDO

- Thank you for your help with permissions. I knew that setting to 757 is dangerous, and i don't particularly like it, but when I go into system information/directory permissions, everything is unwritable at 0755 (default) but becomes writeable at 0753 or 0757.. do you have suggestions? The whole reason I have to set this site up is because a virus or other suspicious code got into my site and I'm sure it was because of the permissions. Should I just set them so that it is writeable as I edit and then set them back when I'm finished? After I'm done with the site the only thing anybody else will ever need to do is create new articles, anything more in depth I will do.

Yes. you can always change your permission settings as your covenience.
Virus? Their inject your database with malicious code? what they did?
Well I not 100% sure but i believe what the did was to load an script to phishing scam.
This is usually caused by a vulnerability in software you are running on your server. Therefore, when this happen you need to review any PHP or perl-based web applications you are running to see that they are up to date and secure.
In addition usually your hosting provider should be able to detect and correct this issues by deleting or blocking the IP address attempting to modify your files or if possible the malicious script, in addition they will Quarantine the modified files and restore them from what we have in our backup system, Reset your cPanel / FTP password.
I'll suggest to continuously check your site for security updates and also for any errors on the JS via firebug(firefox). A reputable hosting services company should attempt to secure your account and restore the content from their backups. If there is any unusual content still on your site, our backups they will held the exploited content and cannot be recovered from their systems. To correct the issue, you will need to restore a backup or local copy. Keep in mind, the list is not exhaustive.
Some of the most vulnerable programs are:
Adobe Acrobat Reader
Adobe Flash Player
Adobe Shockwave
Any FTP Programs including Filezilla FTP and WS_FTP
To prevent that to happen again is recommendable to change your passwords in regular basis and keep your computer and joomla modules and components with the latest security updates.
You can also periodically visit this link:
developer.joomla.org/security.html
docs.joomla.org/Vulnerable_Extensions_List
docs.joomla.org/Security_and_Performance_FAQs
about what permissions it depends on several factors but mainly if you are in shared web server, that's totally change the panorama.

I want to do the same thing but I'm getting the 500 internal server error when I'm trying to install Joomla 2.5 in the new directory. Any help is much much appreciated.
Thanks!
[Solved] I don't know what I did but i manage to work on a new one but somehow the original folder is somewhat not accessible.
