Changing permissions of images and directories

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.kingscupboard.com/joomla

-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6

Hi
I'm having an issue with uploading images into hikashop when creating products. After trouble shooting the site I've found that the images aren't showing because of permission errors.

files are getting uploaded with file permissions of 600 and you need them to be 664
directories are getting 700 and you need them to be 775

If there a setting in hika, or on joomla that can fix this.

Thanks

Hi,

permissions are setup at the server level. Ideally, you should contact your system administrator to make sure that the owner of the folders and files of the website correspond to the apache user. Otherwise, you would have to set the permissions to 664/775 because the apache user is not the owner of the files/folders. Sometimes, the issue can also come from the FTP layer options of the Joomla configuration. Again, these settings depends on how your web server is configured.
I would recommend to follow this tutorial:
