Help!-Permissions probs after installation

The installation process has gone smoothly, and then I select 'Define Pages Editor' under tools and select a file to edit (**define_main_page.php **for example).

The text editor comes up, but I get the following message:

Error: I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions on: /home/reverse/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/define_main_page.php

I've tried changing the permissions to 755 and 777, but with no luck.

If anyone could help me with this I'd be very grateful.

Cheers.

Both the /english/html_includes folder and all its contents and subfolders and their contents need to be 777.

To define a bit more what Chuck stated, make sure the following all have permissions of 777.

dir: html_includes
dir: html_includes/classic
files: html_includes/classic/ all php files

Most Important
When done with edits you should go back and change permissions on just the 'html_includes' dir., back to 755. That is the normal setting and will put security to what it should be.

As it is a bit of a pain to be changing permissions back 'n forth, you should try to do all edits at the same time, when using Define Pages Editor.
