Or do all the files inside need to be changed as well?

Also, the server side setting adjustment mentioned a few times earlier that would need to be made by the host to fix this as another option, can this be done per site or is that a server global thing meaning if they do it, its goes across anyones site on that box?

Cool hack Erwin. Thank you. If I get the permissions thing beat it will be perfect for me to be able to work on the fly.

Change the folder first to 777 - that should be enough. If not, change the files inside as well. Do it with a separate FTP client. It is unlikely that your server is setup with permissions for you to change CHMOD of files and directories via PHP.
