getting this messages when trying to upload and install fck editor - (also tried orther editors - always the same problem)

Warning: mkdir(/home/newworl/public_html/mambots/editors/fckeditor/): Permission denied in /home/newworl/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/admin.installer.php on line 190
Upload mambot - Failed
Failed to create directory "/home/newworl/public_html/mambots/editors/fckeditor"
[ Continue ... ]

I´ve tried searching the forums - found something on this - but in Dutch language - And I could not make out one word

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think i´ve red something about setting permission to 777 - chmod - but i´m such a newbie - i´m not sure where to do it - what file - or folder do I change the permission to ?.

Best wishes and thanks - Bjatti

I assume you have the "tools" necessary to change the permissions. I use a web control component supplied by my web server company... I highly doubt that you will have the same tools available to you but...

Change the permissions on all folders to 777 will get the install to run...

By default that is how my web server sets the permissions...

The downside to doing this is, though this will get your install to run, fckeditor will not run with "all" the permissions set to 777, it absolutely insists that a number of "it's" files and directories be set to 755.

Thus,
1. Set all your directories to 777...

2. Install the Editor

3. Run the editor... if all is well, your done, else move to #4

4. Open your servers error log and read what files and directories need permissions set to 755

5. Change permissions on those files

This should get you done.

I can't be more specific, because the tools avaible to you are not know to me....

Good luck

Thank you , - I have acess to my "web-space" through a control panel called Cpanel - I can change the permission from there. -

I will give this a go.

Many thanks BobHuge

Sweet... the same control I have over mine....

You shouldn't have a problem... if a silly like me can do it...
