theme-editor.php fopen AND modify header

[nathanielrenouf]

I have installed WP 7.2 on a Windows Server running the correct version of PHP and setup the DB on the correct version of MySQL. Site works fine and all admin works fine except when using the editor on.

Edit Themes --> button --> Update File

Error gives:

Warning: fopen(d:\inetpub\wwwroot\traceysimmonds.com\html\blog/wp-content/themes/bluemod/pagebar.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\traceysimmonds.com\html\blog\wp-admin\theme-editor.php on line 55

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\inetpub\wwwroot\traceysimmonds.com\html\blog\wp-admin\theme-editor.php:55) in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\traceysimmonds.com\html\blog\wp-admin\theme-editor.php on line 70

theme-editor.php is set to 777 or the Windows equivalent.

I have posted this on the WP main forum and had no response. Searched Google and cannot find a solution.

Can you assist?

Many thanks

The file you're trying to edit is /wp-content/themes/bluemod/pagebar.css. This has to be writable by the web server not theme-editor.php. Also the server has to be configured properly to let you edit files.

Those files are writeable too, I checked that already.
Do you have a list of files that should be writeable?
Can you expand on the configuration of the server?

I build web servers so am aware of what permissions are required for Windows servers and everything looks fine to me.

Just to update you that the issue is resolved. As I suspected my ISP needs to modify permissions directly, nothing I can do remote, for files to be writeable.

Thanks.
