Permission denied for some cmms folder on my server

Hi,
CMCMS is taking over me. I cannot acces some folders which have the owner 'apache' from the group 'apache'.
I cannot access the templates of Newsletter made simple, neither my photos folders in upload or some module folders.
I tried in my server control panel without succes.
Any idea
Thank you

This is pretty standard when running php as the apache module. It's not limited to cms made simple. Any files created by the cms, will have the owner of nobody, and not your user id. This means you will not be able to perform certain actions, most commonly delete and overwrite.
You would need root access to your server, or have a webhost that runs php in cgi mode, so all files created are with your userid.
A way around this would be to install modules manually and don't do it from the admin back-end. This assures the files are uploaded with your userid.

Any modules you install via the Module Manager will have this ownership.
That is why in the module listing there is a "Change Permissions" link to deal with this.

I will try it on some modules.
But newsletter made simple does not have this option, only uninstall! I cannot get it in Spanish.
I'll try the cgi thing or do it manually.
ciao
Gracias
