Got a Joomla problem? Post as much detail about it as you can here to see if you can get a solution.

Where possible, include URL for the site or page having issues, what version of Joomla you're using, what type of server (eg Cpanel, WAMP, IIS), what components may be installed, and specific error messages you're encountering.

If you think your problem is particularly obscure, you might be better posting it to the forums at joomla.org as there's thousands more people to help you.

Hi,

I've recently uploaded a site to a server of my clients choosing and I have noticed that all of the Directory Permission are unwritable, but I can see through Admin Tools that they are set correctly to folders (755) and files (644).

Could someone please explain why they remain unwritable despite the permissions set? I've looked through various forums but am a little confused and not quite sure what to ask the host to do. I know that they don't have suphp on the server which can help.

Appreciate anyone's advice.
