Don’t panic. We can fix them easily. These are the problems originating from the permission of directory or file. If you have super user access to your server, just put the command of chmod –R 707 to most of the unwriteable directories except the following three to 777, configuration.php, mambots/content and mambots/search.
The details follow-
administrator/backups/Unwriteable chmod –R 707
administrator/components/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
administrator/modules/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
administrator/templates/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
cache/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
components/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
images/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
images/banners/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
images/stories/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
language/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
mambots/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
media/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
modules/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
templates/Unwriteable chmod -R 707
configuration.php 777
mambots/content/Unwriteable chmod -R 777
mambots/search/Unwriteable chmod -R 777
The tricky thing you may encounter is that you do not see configuration.php but configuration.php-dist in your mambo directory. Do not rename or copy configuration.php-dist to configuration.php. Instead, you should make or upload a blank configuration.php file without anything in it and change its permission to 777.
