Parameter-File params.ini is unwritable

Hi, everytime I want to change something to my template news line I get the following error:

The Parameter-File /templates/newsline/params.ini is Unwritable!

I aready went to the directory online and changed the file attribute to write and then it works. But everytime I go back to do another change I get the same error again and the write attributes are removed.

I would like to know what is happening here.
Thank you.

This is done by the Joomla 1.5 core, its an added security measure to prevent params either accidently or intentionally over written.

Thank you Neo. The problem is indeed solved. Superb.

Sorry. After clicking on apply the template changes again and gets unwritable.
The file gets rewritten and the old code is placed there. So the problem is not solved yet.

I should have made this clearer in my first post. Joomla should automatically chmod it back to unwriteable when you click save/apply. If you decide too edit the params.ini again later, just click apply/save and joomla will temporarily make params.ini writeable, save the new config and make it read only afterwards again. This prevents overwriting config files when you ftp updates later on.

Joomla just gives a red notice so that you are safe in the knowledge that it isnt writeable and should be ignored.
