I have just upgraded my Joomla installation to latest version and need to edit the php.ini file but cant find it anywhere via ftp. This is a security issue and need to edit the globals line to secure the site. Where is the php.ini file and do I have access to it.??<br />Secondly I have installed modules in Joomla that work fine but I cannot change the ownership of them via CHMOD as these are installed automatically by the Joomla software and are shown as belonging to "nobody (99) - how do I change permissions on such files??<br /><br />I appreciate that this is not a Joomla forum but the issue is related to cpanel etc etc and not Joomla itself. I have tried to change these files via cpanel but no joy.<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />Hapless<!--content-->

I can be wrong about this, but from what I understand it is not TCH, but more how joomla is constructed, that makes these ownership problems. Hopefully this is fixed when version 1.5 are released.<!--content-->
I think it's more how php itself works. When not running as a cgi script, it runs as nobody, therefore any files it creates are owned by nobody. You could probably write a php script to delete or chmod those files.<!--content-->
