    • Hi Rocketeers,

      Kindly help me with the following problem I'm facing with FTP layer option available in Joomla 1.5. I've setup a new FTP account for Joomla. I enabled the access to public_html directory for the new account.

      After entering the required details in Joomla Admin Panel, when I save the changes, I get following error message -

      * JFTP::login: Unable to login
      * JFTP::write: Unable to use passive mode

      Moreover, 'configuration.php' file unwritable message also appears below above message.(I've already assigned 777 permission to configuration.php file)

      Also a silly question -

      In order to setup Joomla, I've downloaded the software from Joomla Site and simply uploaded it to the public_html folder. If I'm using FTP layer option, what should I change my directory permissions to for maximum security? Or should I leave the directories untouched?

      Article Excerpt*

      I’ve encountered a really nasty problem with a Joomla! 1.5 installation for a client of mine. It has to do with the default PHP upload function.
      The problem manifested like this: Upon uploading and installing a plugin, because the server was using PHP 4 I needed to make some modifications to the plugin php files since it used the array_combine() function that was supported only in PHP 5. So far so good until I realized I couldn’t change - rename - delete - change the permissions on the files I wanted, because my ftp user didn’t have any rights.

      Apparently the reason behind this is that when I installed via Joomla! that the “owner” of the created folders/files etc. is being set to “nobody”.

      This was really annoying mostly because if I would try with the ftp layer I have problems just installing anything (templates, modules, plugins, components) but if I disable ftp I can install but then i can’t change the permissions via ftp which will allow me to edit any files.....
