 * I cannot find an exact solution to this problem in the forum.
    Whenever I attempt
   to save the permalink page, default mode, without any customization I get the
   following set of error messages and can’t figure out what is wrong.
 * `Warning: file(/home/hostname/public_html/.htaccess): failed to open stream: 
   Permission denied in /home/hostname/public_html/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on
   line 74`
 * `Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /home/hostname/public_html/wp-
   admin/includes/misc.php on line 74`
 * `Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output 
   started at /home/hostname/public_html/wp-admin/includes/misc.php:74) in /home/
   hostname/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1195`
 * The server is running on shared host with a linux O/S
 * Any helpnwould be appreciated.

 * Hi Jaymax,
 * Make sure your hosting provider allows you to edit files using PHP script. Discuss
   this matter with your hosting support. It seems to be a permissions issue.

 * I can edit the file, line 74 is
    ‘if ( $markerdata = explode( “\n”, implode( ”,
   file( $filename ) ) ));’ the file permission is 0644 I changed it to 0744

 * I forgot to mention that this made no difference –
    Should I have made it 754
   instead?
