Layout controller errors

[robbok]

Hi, I'm fairly new to Zen Cart so you may have to bear with me.
I am running the latest version (1.3.7) of Zen Cart.

I am trying to set up the layout boxes(including, eventually, the css flyout mod)as I want them, however I cannot change the status of 'categories.php' I get the following error:

Error 403: You don't have permission to access /admin/layout_controller.php on this server.

I thought I had solved it by resetting the order to the default, which made the categories appear, but any further modification are forbidden. All other layout boxes are unaffected by this. I have tried changing the permissions on the admin folder and layout_controller.php. Any ideas?
With thanks in advance,
robbok

Just noticed I get the same error updating the EZpages also!

The directories should be 755 and the files 644 ...

What are you using?

I am changing the permissions with Dreamweaver- I have checked that they have been changed on the server via Plesk.

Just noticed I get a 403 error when trying to edit 'page2.php', 'page3.php' and 'page4.php' in define pages editor, but other pages are unaffected!

"You don't have permission to access /admin/define_pages_editor.php on this server."

Very wierd!


MySQL ver:7.3.13
PHP:5.0.4

BTW I have renamed the admin folder, and made the necessary corrections in the configuration php's

I have another problem in the add - categories / products editor. I can add products to an existing category, but adding my own categories throws the same error403: access forbidden. It seems it definitely is a problem with permissions to my admin folder but, what, I don't know(yet!)
