Problem installing themes

    I was having an issue installing themes earlier where it told me that it could not find the wp content folder. I found the fix for that (altering the wp config file) then, when I try to install a theme, I get
    Installing the theme.
    Could not create directory. ../wp-content/themes/rockwell_wp1/
    Theme Install Failed.

    so I just FTPed into the directory, created the folder and dragged the stuff for the theme in there.

    However, now, I can’t edit particular files (like header.php). It tells me that the file needs to be writeable. How do I do that??

    It tells me that the file needs to be writeable

    on some servers it is required that theme files have chmod 666 to edit from the WP editor
    always set back to 644 when finished

    I am not sure what that means or how to fix it. the permissions have write checked but the numeric value is 732. is that the number I need to change?

    I changed the value to several different ones and none of them worked. They didn’t seem to stick. I tried 666, 644 and a few others, but it keeps getting stuck on chmod 755 -rwxr-xr-x (which in theory should work for me.

    Any ideas?
