Issue with file/directories permissions

Post by Fhernd » Sun Apr 15, 2012 4:57 am

Hi,

Now I am experimenting and issue with an Joomla 2.5 instance, it is related with file/directories permissions when I want to execute very basic operations (i.e.: upload an image to my media library).

Next, a report from Joomla administrator panel (from Site -> Information system):

As you can see, various important workign directories are not writable (Unwritable).

I have made a reading to this article:

http://www.joomlatutorials.com/joomla-t ... ation.html

Where we can read about file and directories permissions. I have some changes to file/dir permissions, but the result is the same:

Unix file permissions for my folder:

By other hand, I have installed Joomla in another web hosting, and I have checked that file/dirs have the equals permissions.

¿Can you give some suggestions about this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hasta pronto
