Any help would be appreciated

Some FTP programmes don`t show the settings correctly or some servers reset to 755 by themselves. Please check again! Which FTP programme are you using? Have you tried FileZilla?

Used smartftb for most upload and preferences work but also servers cpanel. was the install tester that showed 775 not 777. but checked files and they show 777.

I'm pretty sure that what the test script displays are in fact the current file / directory permissions ...

bye, Dirk

Maybe ask your hoster if you are not allowed to set 777. It is quite possible that there is an automatic which detects 777 and sets it back to 775.

Thanks 1000ideen & Dirk. They were not set to 777 but are now and seems fine.
Appreciate the help.

I had the same problem. It was gFTP not correctly changing the permissions. I SSH'd in and set chmod 777 articles and it worked fine. I was curious if 775 would work but it did not.
