I am receiving a following error
Settings has not been loaded. Used default settings
Wrong config file size connect.cfg please save Settings again
in magento connect. I tried to delete files and did every possible thing, but the issue is not getting resolved. Please help me with possible solution guys. Also the extensions are not getting installed because of this and we are not able to solve problems.
We are using magento 1.9
Make sure that you click settings and click save as this flag will not clear until you do so. I was pulling my hair out with this as I chmod'd the files and chown'd the directory's but it was still showing the error. So once the file and folder permissions are set correctly go to the Magento Connect manager click the settings tab and click save settings then go back to extensions tab and the error will now be gone.

When you are in magento connect manager and you get this error
*
Settings has not been loaded. Used default settings
*
Click on magento conect manager Settings tab (top left) and select Use Custom Permissions --> YES and default should be 777 for folders and 666 for files. Deployment Type --> Local Filesystem and then hit SAVE SETTINGS.
The problem should be solved. At least that's how I solved mine when I got this error.
Be sure the /dowloader folder permissions are set to 777 and you can also chown the folder with the apache user. That worked for me. I have done:
chmod 777 -R /downloader/
chown www-data:www-data -R /downloader/
replace www-data with your apache user.
I've done this and worked perfectly for me.
It's a well known issue.
Check if the file named "connect.cfg" hasn't been modified (for
exemple: when I get this issue, the file has nothing into it, every
parameters have been removed and the size is 0kb)
Take a backup of this file and overwrite the existing
The issue should be solved know
For info about the access rights, I have :
2775 for the folder "downloader"
0664 for the file "connect.cfg
chown apache /var/www/ -hR will solve this problem.

I have a website which I copied to this location. The public_html folder was also uploaded with the other folders but it is not showing up. Please guide me. Thanks.
As you are using DreamHost web hosting you wont have any control over ssh and chmod , chown commands. I think dreamhost wont use cPanel for shared hosting, they have their own control panel, so there is nothing you can do, Ask dreamHost support to reinitialize your public_html directory. Surely they will do that. I searched on dreamhost forum and found these link-
https://discussion.dreamhost.com/thread-13646-post-13647.html#pid13647
https://discussion.dreamhost.com/thread-128630.html
Currently in your case i saw that there is no issue related to public_html (technically "Document Root" ) directory coz as your http://www.inspuratesystems.com/second/ is pointing to correct directory , and your documentRoot is parent of that directory, So if your documentRoot was wrong then there were no chance to access that that url, currently your domain is opening a correct index.html file which indicates that your documentRoot is there.
Create a index.html or home.html file there manually (from their web based file manager) and see if it is working or not, if it works then there is some issue with your uploading.
Your hosting provider seems to be dreamhost.com
Please check out this thread, according to which public_html seems to be a special case on dreamhost:

and/or this:
Getting a 'Not Found' error on my website?
Hope it helps!
Make sure that the public_html folder has execute permissions
chmod a+x public_html
That will allow execute permissions for everybody.
Perhaps it's possible that server (apache?) hides folders named public_html? Also check that group others have read and execute permissions for that folder.
In folder /path/to/second/ run
chmod ugo+rx .
chmod -R ugo+rx public_html
to set folder visible.
cpanel may handle the "public_html" folder in a unique way. Try uploading to a folder like: /home/yourusername/public_html/second/files/ instead of /home/yourusername/public_html/second/public_html/
If you are wanting to create a new distinct website at inspuratesystems.com/second/ you don't need a second "public_html" folder. Just put them in the /home/yourusername/public_html/second directory.
If you are using a linux or OS X server, you may need to change the permissions on the folder.
Did you checked if the folder is hidden attribute?
If you execute ls -a in terminal, you will know about it's existence. If it is present then please try giving it read & execute permission (using chmod 555 command). Give write permission if you are planning to write something or take feedback from users (using chmod 777).
I tried some of this options above but unfortunately none worked. Instead I discovered that in CPanel you have a "Preferences" tab and in that tab you have a "User Manager" function. You can there edit the ftp user that you created before in CPanel. On the "User Manager" funcion you can find the "Home Directory" configuration. On that home directory you just choose the "public_html". When you configure the user in the ftp account on your ftp platform, it goes directly to the path you defined in CPanel.
I have just moved my Magento store from cPanel to DirectAdmin (Centos).
My problem is now with permissions. Previously on cPanel all folders were set to 755 and files 644. This worked great.
However on DirectAdmin the only way I seem to be able to get everything to work (including the downloader) is by setting all folders to 777. Is this safe to do so?
Also what should the User and Group ownership be set to?
Thanks!
Followed this and everything seems to be working well:
http://blog.nexcess.net/2010/12/06/securing-magento-file-directory-permissions/
chmod may not be your problem. Who is the owner of the files on new server? Set the ownership via chown to www-data (ubuntu) or whatever they should be on centos. They way you can find this out is by setting all to 777 then look at the some newly created file, from var/log or var/session and see who is the owner/group. Reset back to varien's recommended chmod settings and do the chown user:group on all files.
Its not good to have 777 on all your folders as it makes it publicly accessible and changeable. Some can be 777, more so 755, and most cases 644
Get set the folders to the right permissions the easiest way is to use the Magento cleanup tool here:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/resetting_file_permissions
Scroll down a bit on that page to download the Magento Cleanup Tool
You can also reference the Magento installation cheat sheet Step 2 - Set file permissions:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/magento-installation-cheat-sheet#step2
So I would set everything back to 644, and then run the cleanup tool.
Magento Permission can be set by running a file in the installation.For that you need to download the magento cleaup tool.

I have installed new site in Joomla 1.7 and its working fine, but when i checked its back-end (administrator) got 500 Internal Server Error.
Note: Site is working fine in Local server.
Please suggestion me any solution.
Thanks in advance.
First you have change folder permission to 775 for the following folders:
cache, logs, tmp & administrator/cache
then go to: configuration.php
find code:
$log_path = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX';
$tmp_path = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX';
and change code into:
$log_path = './logs';
$tmp_path = './tmp';
problem solved :)
I had this problem, but none of your advices didn't help.
I fixed a problem only after I switched off all modules via PhpMyAdmin (PMA).
Table modules, changed parameter "published" to 0 for all and then enabled only few modules with these types:
mod_login
mod_menu
mod_sumbenu
mod_toolbar
mod_title
After this I entered admin page and used top menu to enable all needed modules one by one. After admin page started to give me 500 error again I knew what module is faulty and I disabled it again via PMA.
May be some files are not uploded.Check failed transfer of your FTP server.Make sure all the files are uploded online
Check your error logs and backtrace what is causing the error. It sounds like you have MySQL errors, make sure any of your components/modules/aren't tricking out your site.
Think it's a component?
You can login into PHPMyAdmin and disable/enable modules manually by unpublishing them using the table editor, changing isPublished to 0 .
Try reinstalling database with the correct compatibility and also check web.config file on ftp for correct configuration paths !
I experienced something similar on my site. Digging through the log file, /administrator/error_log i saw this error message:
[08-Oct-2012 15:28:59] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function login() on a non-object in /home/XXX/public_html/administrator/components/com_login/admin.login.php on line 65 .
Problem was, i had a previous installation of Joomla 1.5.x, and uploaded files for Joomla 1.6 to replace the previous files and upgrade security of the site. Took me almost a month to find a solution for my own case;
Finally found out from this website that I needed to completely delete all previous files in the website root directory before uploading a new version of Joomla.
Hope this helps someone out there who is in the same situation!
I also have the same issue on my site backend when editing or saving some articles, modules etc...Finally i solved it...
Add these lines to /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_secuirity.conf on your server
SecRuleEngine Off
save it...and restart apache...it works fine for me.
Adding these lines disable mod_secuirity engine off.I don't know if it causes secuirity problems in future..
Tnx all...
Change the permission of folder administrator at 775 or 755
I tried all the above ideas. Without avail. For my site (which was an outdated Joomla 1.5.x site- don't ask!!!), where the backend suddenly stopped working, the final solution was switching the servers PHP version from 4 to 5.5 (even 5.4 did not work!).
I then got some strange PHP warnings in the frontend. But I then updated Joomla from the now again working backend to the last 1.5 version and everything worked fine from the on.
Phew! Maybe this helps someone later on...
In my case there was a single file with bad permissions.
It can be tricky to figure out which file has the problem so just run this to set the permissions for all the files in the directory:
chmod -R ug+rwX .
chmod -R o+rX .
Change the permissions of all of your files/directories.
Files should be 755
Directories should be 644
This is my case and my solution:
I have changed my server and got this error. I have protected my administrator folder using password protection method. So I have checked my new server and found that my protection information are not saved in control panel. also my .htaccess file (in administrator folder) is not compatible to my new server.
The solution:
Simply protect my folder using control panel
I have renamed the .htaccess file to htaccess.txt
It is done.
I hope it could be useful ;)

When logged in as Administrator and trying to install a Joomla extension it fails giving this error message
JFolder::create:
Unable to create destination
At another Joomla site it works, and one difference is where it works Joomla is setup with default English and where it fails setup is in Swedish. Can you recommend how to troubleshoot and proceed? I tried with 2 different extensions and both work on the English joomla and not the Swedish.
Probably you have to check the rwx (Read-Write-Execute) permissions (should be 644 or 755) for allowing the extension's folder to be created.
You have to change the owner of the folders/files to the user of the Apache server using the "chown" command.
If the Apache user is httpd, run this command in your Joomla folder
chown -R httpd *
I already get this problem and this solution worked for me.
Also check the path to the /tmp folder in your configuration.php file.
