Okay, I am having trouble saving changes to a .css file using the cpanel filemanager.
Basically it worked for me a couple of times (trying to edit "compiled.css") but now it just throws this error at me every time I click save!! I cannot delete, move, rename or edit the file at all using an ftp manager or even the cpanel. I have been forced to take my site offline until I have access to update the css... Please help! QUOTE open compiled.css failed: Permission denied at cpanel.pl line 444 (if a mod sees sensitive account info of mine in there, please remove it Carp::croak('open compiled.css failed: Permission denied') called at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Fileman.pm line 1299 Cpanel::Fileman::fmsavefile('/home/jimster/public_html/dailyrant/templates/rt_elemental/css', 'compiled.css', '.nav, .nav * {^M^J^Imargin:0;^M^J^Ipadding:0;^M^J}^M^Jdiv#horiz-menu { /*...') called at cpanel.pl line 444 main::__ANON__('/home/jimster/public_html/dailyrant/templates/rt_elemental/css', 'compiled.css', '.nav, .nav * {^M^J^Imargin:0;^M^J^Ipadding:0;^M^J}^M^Jdiv#horiz-menu { /*...') called at cpanel.pl line 1423 main::exectag('<cpanel Fileman="fmsavefile($FORM{\'dir\'},$FORM{\'file\'},$FORM...') called at cpanel.pl line 4309 main::dotag(undef) called at cpanel.pl line 4198 main::cpanel_parseblock('SCALAR(0x8eb2e70)') called at cpanel.pl line 4152 main::cpanel_parse('GLOB(0x90b71c8)') called at cpanel.pl line 969  or if a trap members sees please PM me quick!)The box with all the code appears and I can write into it okay, but saving is a problem. I have restarted comp / cleared cookies / cleared cache / re-login to cpanel but still no luck. If I'm honest, I really don't understand what any of that error code means!!! I hope it means more to you all... Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or get round this, cos it's very annoying!!! ***EDIT*** I'm still trying to fix this problem and it's becoming very urgent. This has forced me to take my site offline until it can be sorted... I can't delete or even rename using an ftpmanager (or cpanel), so I can't upload an edited version at all the ftp gives errors as well as cpanel no matter what I try: QUOTE 350 RNFR accepted - file exists, ready for destination 550 Rename/move failure: Permission denied This is getting really annoying so if anyone has any idea how to fix it, I'd appreciate it!

Please state where this file is located. I've reviewed your structure to 1 level and did not find such .css file.
Thank you. |

Permissions are currently set to 0755: That is - Owner read/write/execute - Group read/execute - Public read/execute All very standard settings, so I don't know what's going on... my site is still remaining offline

Check now. Okay, thank you very much for the help, but it didn't fix it!! I have no idea what's going on here. Cpanel just gives me a permission denied error trying to rename compiled.css.copy back to compiled.css BUT, I have found a solution!!! I was doing some research about this problem and apparantly is is quite well known... Joomla does something funny with active folders that it uses. Using Joomlaxplorer (plugin for Joomla) I was able to get around the problems with cpanel and ftp programs it renamed and edited successfully .I'm a bit annoyed I can't use an ftp program for it like everything else, but since it seems joomlaxplorer is the only option, and certainly works well, I'll stick with it!! (I feel a Joomla tuturial coming on  )

That is a interesting quirk, and it seems it should be fixed by the joomla guys; did your research find anything to the statement that they tried or are trying to fix that? This maybe see ma bit far fetched, but it would seem as though they are trying to monopolize by making sure that you can use only there software to make changes to there file structure. But like you mentioned in your earlier post that if this is a well known problem it should have been fixed by now.

No I didn't find any announcements detailing a fix, but since they are working on 1.5 it'll be okay for that version. Nevertheless it get's even more c |
