Help with Kloxo chmod permissions..

[Clowner]

My friend is having a problem with Kloxo
Whenever he tries to edit a file it says he needs to change the permissions to allow write access. So he sets the file to 777 and tries it again but gets the same message. He can't figure it out and can't find info on it..
Any ideas on what it could be?
He has shell access if that helps

it's not an issue with chmod ..

the owner of the file is not the one who is trying to edit it , so he has to change the ownership of the files . or add the user to the user group which has the permissions to edit those files.

chown username /path/to/directory/

you can also specify -R option , which recursively changes the permissions of all the files/directories ..

there's a file in the script (smf) I'm using that can't be edited thru the script because it can't write it.. and when the file is changed to 755 or 777 it still can't write

have you check the ownership? remember that you should not edit clients file from admin panel.
