Default Unable to save an edited php file using Joomla eXplorer?

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to edit a php file using Joomla explorer, I can open it, write in the correct code, hit the save button but nothing happens...

Could it be something to do with my hosts server set up or something like that, everything seems fine on my end?

thanks

Default its a permissions Chmodd problem

Make sure that the file is writeable, if you've just uploaded Joomla explorer, and if your with 365 I'm not sure about other hosts the files are locked for about 24 hours before you can edit the file permissions.(its a pain but no way around it)

Set the files to 777 which will make them writeable

The file is writeable and set to 777, I'm with letshost, i'm also having a can not locate server "local host" error when trying to register a customer or checkout the cart on the site...i'm guessing it's a sql database error somewhere due to a reload of the site done recently....propably going to have to wait until tuesday to get it sorted out as the whole country is gone out bar me....

This was posted on joomla.org last week about joomla explorer

Quote:
I think JoomlaXplorer is an excellent component and a must have for every Joomla! installation. It makes file management a breeze. There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing a seasoned programmer can't fix.

One major issue is the webroot backtracking that happens. Found a solution on the web to fix the site root access to users on shared hosts problem:

Modify the following lines in the file {site root directory}/administrator/components/com_joomlaxplorer/.config/conf.php

else {
$GLOBALS["home_dir"] = $dir_above;
// the url corresponding with the home directory: (no trailing ‘/’)
$GLOBALS["home_url"] = substr( $mosConfig_live_site, 0, strrpos($mosConfig_live_site, ‘/’));
}

to the following…

else {
$GLOBALS["home_dir"] = $mosConfig_absolute_path;
// the url corresponding with the home directory: (no trailing ‘/’)
$GLOBALS["home_url"] = $mosConfig_live_site;
}

This will fix the security hole with JoomlaXPlorer, and allow users only to access folders in their own joomla installation, allthough you should also chown and chmod the conf.php file to an administrator account to prevent users from modifying it.
Seems its still a bit buggy

I hate to state the obvious but if JoomlaExplorer is giving you grief can you use plain old FTP?

I've not had this problem before with JoomlaExplorer but then again I've never attempted to overwrite php files with it.

Default Check the file for any errors

Hello there,
Is that the file writable. Check for any errors when you save the file.
