PERMISSION QUESTION

The permissions on the files are:

directories: 775
files: 664

It's possible that this may not be strong enough permissions as the Joomla FAQ (http://help.joomla.org/component/option,com_easyfaq/task,view/id,167/Itemid,268/)recommends that permissions be as follows:

directories: 755
files: 644

You can change to the recommended settings by changing to the root of the Joomla install:

cd /opt/joomla

Now change the permissions:

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Temporary elevate the permissions to install plugins or configure (change back after you install or configure):

find . -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
