Folder permissions in Joomla

Folder permissions

Setting Folder permissions is important when installing Joomla, and later when installing Joomla extensions. If you are installing Joomla, and have a warning that some folders are not writable, you should follow these instructions.

Using FTP for changing permissions

We are going to use Filezilla because it`s simple, free and gets the job done.
  1. Connect to your website with ftp client - (Download Filezilla from WMC)
  2. Right Click on folder you want to change permissions and select ...
    permissions1
  3. Mark all the permissions as shown in picture. You can also manually enter number 777 - which means folders are writable by anyone.
    permissions2
  4. Click OK.

If you are installing Joomla, go back to Installation check and click on check again. Red values should now turn green.
