I have a few clients that are having trouble managing Mambo files on their site using FTP. This wasn't the case before 4.5.2. I've been reading this thread at the mamboserver forum and I want to know if there's something I can do to enable them to write to their folders. The server I'm on is using Plesk 7 reloaded and I have a reseller account.

Someone suggested using the following commands via SSH:

#> chown -Rcv newowner fileORdirectory
#> chgrp -Rcv newowner fileORdirectory

But is this something that would need to be done every time a new CMT is installed, or will it change how CMT permissions are handled from there on out?

Also, is this something I could do just for a particular domain, or does it apply to the whole server? I'm obviously not too savvy when it comes to SSH, ownership, etc. (but want to learn) so any help will be appreciated.

Mambo automatically uploads/installs everything as Apache. If you have the global config set to upload files/directories at anything less that 0777 (on Plesk servers) users won't be able to modify the files/folders. If you change the global config to set all files/folders at 0777 you should be good to go.

Sorry but, i,ve the same problem! Where in Plesk admin tool may I change the global config to set all files and folders at 0777, I've tried to change chmod config to a file own by apache but this appears denied, It's possible to change owner via Plesk?

Bye, Filippo

You can install MamboExplorer and manage files from the backend.
