Argh! Just got everything up and running, then went to the settings tab and mistakenly altered the web path, now I can't upload the changes to settings.php to fix the problem. Getting a 550, permission denied error.

    Upload using what? FTP?

    Yes. I've tried many different ways, including from my server utilities logged as the administrator.

    You'll have to modify the conf/settings.php file manually, and fix the path. Look for WEB_ROOT and BASE_URL to make sure they are set correctly.

    This is what I am trying to do, but if I don't have permission to save the file, how do I do it?
  • miquelmiquel
    get to the conf folder and list files "ls -l" so you can see permissions and owner of the file, maybe you discover something

    I can't change the permissions. I think I'm going to have to reinstall.
