Problem when installing components, modules or bots - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
hi,
i installed joomla friend. yesterday tested new components , modules on test server , later decided install them in live joomla of friend. friends joomla runs on different server of different web hoster. on server encounter problems when installing stuff. error msgs related folders couldn't created. emailed , forth support , answer /httpdocs folder (where joomla runs from) need permission 777 not possible security reasons. understand not wise set folders permission 777 somehow need components , bots installed without manually creating subfolders. checked test installation of joomla on server , surprised see permission there 'just' 710 joomla folder.
my question is, there way without compromising security working?
it seems such standard thing (that php allowed create folders), think there 1 or 2 settings php need tweaked make work.
any welcome.
cheers

joomla requires folders writeable can install extentions (also templates).
there 2 ways that....
one chmod 777 (which possible not advisable). if use should chmod 755 after done installing!
second way chown folders need writeable webserver account. allow install chmod 755 setting since webserver (the acount used install extentions) owner. stop accessing (writing) files these folders via ftp. should install extention joomlaxplorer deal these folders once have chowned them webserver since jx runs under webserver account!
talk isp , explain them , ask them how prefer proceed. can if service.
