When you changed the permissions, what did you change them to?  Many hosts won't let you use 777.

Subject: [joomla] Permission problems

Hi ya'll!

I had a problem at a client two days ago, I've never had before with Joomla.

I made a change to the template index.php, saved and tried to upload the file. No luck. I couldn't overwrite the file on the server side.I noticed index.php permission on the server was 444(?) I changed the permission on the server, then...INTERNAL SERVER ERROR! Only the administrator page could be seen. Tried to change back the permission. NOTHING. I changed the template through the manager, nothing happened. My client contacted their host provider and soon things were back to as they were before.

I've done this a thousand times on the server I'm used to work with and had never such a problem. Never found a 444, before though.

What can I do to avoid this, when there's a need to overwrite a file? 

IT WAS SOOOOOOOO EMBARASSING!! I had that look "Do you know what you're doing?"
