I have an H-Sphere hosting account. Im running a Joomla CMS and I’ve just updated the templates. I need to make additional changes to specific templates but apparently I dont have permissions to make the changes. I tried to apply CHMOD to the files and still I cannot reupload-delete-or edit any files in that directory. In my FTP I see the owner of the files as httpd
Files with owner httpd are created by your webserver. You can only change ownership of those files if you:
a) are the owner, or
b) are root on the machine in question.
You will not be able to meet (a), as i previously explained why. If you are root, use the command chown to switch ownership of those files to you and modify them as needed. If not, then consult your system administrator.
