If you mean the ZenCart admin - -
Than there is no facility in the ZenCart for altering file permissions

I'm talking about when I go into "Tools" and then "Admin Settings", I click on some of the permissions to add and then click on save. When I go back in, it doesn't save them.

I'm with kobra on this -- I don't see anything in admin/Tools/Admin Settings for changing permissions, certainly not permissions on files. Also, what's this about a version 1.3.8.1.sp1? Where did you get that? The current version is 1.3.8a.

You're using the word 'permissions' wrong, I think. Sounds like what you're trying to do is edit or add an admin user.

Admin changes that won't 'take' is one possible result of installing the latest admin security patch incorrectly. Be sure you added the patch files to admin, and not the cart section.

I am having a similar issue. Any change I make to the Configuration via the Admin they will not save. For instance I wanted to change the column width in Layout Settings and when I made the change and clicked Update it brought me back to the main admin screen and when i went back into Layout Settings the change I made wasn't there.

I am running 1.3.8a patch 1. This was a new install from HostMonster including the patch.

Any help would be appreciated.

Another thing...I can make changes to my Catalog but just not any of the Configuration settings

i use the version 1.3.8a and i have had a similar issue. i have changed both config files to use ssl. the problem i have is that everything works great, but when i log into the admin using ssl or not i am not able to change anything. if i say go to the "my store" link and click the edit button for a change it seems like something is working but i get instantly "poped" out of the page and back to the admin index. here is the code.

this happens weather or not ssl is on or not. what might be the issue?

* If you desire your *entire* admin to be SSL-protected, make sure you use a "https:" URL for all 4 of the following:
*/
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://shop.storename.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://shop.storename.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://shop.storename.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://shop.storename.com');

// Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
