I was able to install a plugin but not perform the update. The error "Error: Could not open (path)/LICENSE.txt for writing." stops in the beginning. The root directory has no such file.
I see the root directory has some restrictions on one user which MAY be the joomla account but I'm not sure due to lack of documentation. It IS the only non-admin user in the security tab. I don't want to just add modify and write permissions and risk opening up a huge security hole.
Thanks in advance for the feedback. This seems like a great forum.
