global config

**kfunk** · September 4th, 2004, 12:00 AM

So how come I can't change the site name in the global config. It is unwriteable? why?

**Rai** · September 4th, 2004, 12:41 AM

Well, did you set the CHMOD of configuration.php to a writeable setting?

**kfunk** · September 4th, 2004, 12:57 AM

no. Wouldn't have figured you'd need to touch the files just in order to change the title of your mambo site.

yeah, cause it's all programmed into your config php file... so you need to have it CHMOD to like... 666, I think... for it to change properly when you mess with the settings.

change it to 777 then back to 644 once ur done for the changes..
