[SOLVED] CHMOD on /uploads/ColDeCrie

[iamnewbee]

Hi All,

I'm just install CMSMS 1.3 and try to use ColDeCrie theme.
When I try to change header and footer images located in /uploads/ColDeCrie folder, but I can't upload my own files. The error message is "access denied"

I check folder permission and found it's 644. I CHMOD to 777 (via ftp and cpanel) but the operation is not permitted.

Is the folder protected?
BTW, I was able to change /uploads folder as well as /uploads/image.

Many thanks for help

Just to add that I don't have this problem on my localhost installation.

This is the first time I encounter a folder can't be changed

Thanks for help

You installed the theme via an XML file, so the owner is the web server. You should be able to access the files through the File Manager. If not, create another folder via your FTP program called ColDeCrie2 and copy everything there. Make the appropriate changes in the template and stylesheet, to point to the new folder.

I usually avoid XML installs, for just this reason. It's better to do the install on a local WAMP server and then FTP the files to the live site. That way you maintain ownership of the files.

Wow how coincidence... Thanks Nullig anyway.

I did what you've suggested before read the posting. But instead make any changes to other files, I create a new folder, copy all files from ColDeCrie to new folder, rename ColDeCrie folder to ColDeCrie2, and rename new folder back to ColDeCrie.

It's strange I was able to rename the folder though

In the future, I'll avoid installing via xml and do what you suggested, ftp-ing all files.

Many thanks
