Subject: JFTP: :write: Bad response Could not save data. Error: Could not write to the configuration file

I got a new Joomla site set up with :

I get this error when I am trying to set the default error.

root directory permissions: 755
configuration.php permissions 744

Is this a permissions problem or owner problem?

   - JFTP: :write: Bad response
   - Could not save data. Error: Could not write to the configuration file

IMHO, file permissions are too high, 0664 would be enough. Are you using
php CGI or as an Apache module?

Who is the owner? Unix permissions are respective of the owner.

Let's assume your webserver is a system user called www-data (as is the
case with most Debian-based systems). Then a file with permissions 744
would only be writeable by the *webserver* if it were actually *owned*
by the *webserver*. If the file were owned by root or some other user,
then it would not be writeable by the webserver.

To find out who/what owns a file, then cd to the directory containing
the file, something like this (modify path to suit your situation):-

cd /var/www/joomla/components/mycomponent/whatever

Then run the unix list command thus:-
ls -l

This will list all the files complete with their owners, groups and
permissions. If it is a very long list, then this command will list just
php files:-

ls -l *.php

HTH best wishes, G.

You could maybe create an ftp user and add it to the web group to use the
ftp layer.

Good luck

Thanks for the line.  I was not correct on teh configuration permissions.
 configuration.php = 644

Here is my php test page.  This is an isp server.
