Good Grief, 5 minute install. More like five weeks. Ok, I have it installed. V 2.0 Running ok but what is is with file permissions. I finally figured out how to upload some neat themes but I cannot edit them. I have looked everywhere. Found some info but changing permissions have not enabled me to edit the themes. The Codex gives great instructions but they do not work. Help! Just someone give me the settings, please.

Posted 3 years ago #Running on Linux? If you are and the web server is running as the 'apache' user try
cd wordpress/wp-content/themes
find . | xargs chown apacheThat will set the file ownership the same as the thr running webserver (redhat at least, Suse uses the 'wwwrun' user).
That should let you edit the files using the wordpress edit files interface.

If it is your own, and it is running a Linux distribution then you would need to become the root account.
If it is not you're own box (hosted) then you may be out of luck. You'll have to edit the theme files and then upload them.
Good luck.
