Adding logos and such-access denied

When I try to upload my logo/heading for the site, it doesnt make it into the images file. I have tried naming it \"Logo.gif\" to replace the one that comes with the template, but that didnt work, either. I have also tried changing the css file to indicate my logo, but was unable to get those changes to save. I keep getting that access is denied. How do I make this site \"my\" site?


Also recently tried pointing the css reference to my logo in the general images file, since that was the only place that I was able to load it to, and still am unable to view it on my site.

Hi Patti,

do you have an ftp program so that you can manually upload the logo to the images folder? Im no expert by any means, but when I replaced my logo, I found it was easier to upload it directly using dreamweaver (or any other ftp program) than uploading it via the admin panel. I kept getting logged out.

You can also edit your css files with it too.

Ill try it, did you have troubles installing additional modules that came with the template, as well? I cant get any of the directory or file permissions to be writeable.

you must have the file folder writable , you have to chmod your files via ftp or your host admin to min 666

Im sorry Im new to Joomla, could you spell that out a little more?

chmod my files via ftp or host admin to min 666, does that mean that Ill need to contact my host company to open things up so I can do this? I just switched companies so that I could utilize Joomla, so am still getting the hang of all this. Any assistance from anyone is greatly appreciated, especially since my site is not especially functioning at the moment with all this happening.
