10.01. Joomla pernissions?

Asked by peter

If I like to add an image to a new article, I'll get the error message: Warning: Failed to move file! Unable to upload file.

If I like to save a CSS file, I get the error message: Could not save data. Error: An error occurred. The file css/black.css could not be saved (I started fgrep -r css/black.css 'and got from fgrep: /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/lang.tmp: Permission denied).

I guess it's something with missing permissions.

How can I set the valid permissions in the Joomla folder for directories and the files? Thanks in advance.
Peter

ok then currently nobody has access, you may need to chown and chmod the file but I would look online to see what is appropriate.

Can you give me an example for chmod and chown?

I'm new with Linux and I can't create the command needed. I miss the knowledge.

Thanks a lot.
