Thanks for this! It made things clear as can be for me I think . Been wondering how Magento connect was able to do its stuff, I had my permissions wrong heh.

ok, apology time, I’ve just noticed you were only recommending changing directories not files to 777 (RTFA! , so it’s not as bad as I made out above. Still preferable to set the correct permissions though if possible, or at the very least set them back after you’ve upgraded…

infact the folders simply have to be writable by the server usually ‘www-data’ or similar, so you could do this instead in theory (i have yet to try this but i will very shortly )

find ./ –type d –exec chgrp www-data {} \;

I have been trying to install magento via ftp and ssh and neither seems to work I get the following error in the magento installation wizard:

Path “/usr/www/users/jibjab/store/app/etc” must be writable
Path “/usr/www/users/jibjab/store/var” must be writable
Path “/usr/www/users/jibjab/store/media” must be writable

the hacking info was helpful because I did cahnge all the file permissions to 777, but I will change them back. I may have missed a step, but do you leave all of the downloaded magento files on the desk top or do I put them in a certain place? Any advice would be very help ful. thanks

Thank you for your Magento connect tutorial. I´ve only one suggestion, but it´s not a criticism: A Video-Tutorial for that would be a blast….

I have followed the instructions to change the permission of the files and the permission have been successfully changed.
But, when I load the downloader and provide username and password it gives the following error.

404 Error
Page Not Found

I shall be thankful for any help.
