    • hi prim
      my web site is same with above mentioned error.
      (500- an error has occurred
      unable to use given directory check file permissions)

      That's the error i get when I go to template manager
      i'm using reflex template

      im looked
      Site > System Information > Directory Permissions

      They should be marked as "Unwritable" (red colour)
      how to solved this issue?

    • To make them writable you need to use an FTP client or something like CPanel. In the FTP client you just right-click on the files and folders (that needs to be writable) and change the permissions.

      On a normal installation it should be:

      Folders: 755
      Files: 644

      But on some webhosts the ownership of the files and folders are incorrect so you might need to set it like this:

      Folders: 757
      Files: 646

      The Joomla root directory should also be writable :)

    • thanks prim
      some permission is writable
      but someone is not changed.
      all director(folder, subfolder, file, file in folder, file in subfolder) is by manually change?

      the error i get when I go to template manager -> RT-reflex template is invariable.

    • good evening, as you managed to fix it I read the whole discussion and I vyskšal license rights to bookmark temlpate 757 and 0604 files but nothing I tried did not work right and nothing but 777 does not work ...
      then the error about mysql and so that there is missing link in my opinion but I was also confused
      template is installed but when entering the admin template, throws error 500

      translated from Slovak language translator Gogol
      Can you advise if there is already a translator which translates the quality is clear to me that what I write is wrong, and sometimes barely understand it

      to thank for the help
