Unable to change anything after moving the cms directory

[chromis]

I believe I recognise this problem and know why it happens.

The XML files created for storage by the CMS are created with such rights on the server that only the “owner” can edit, in this case being the CMS. When you move them to a new directory you become the owner meaning the CMS can’t edit existing pages anymore, as the XML files are only accessible by the owner.

CHMOD all your data files to 777, giving every script permission to write to it, and your CMS will be able to access it again.

This has always worked for me, so I would say this fixes the problem. My explanation might be completely wrong though, someone with more server experience and knowledge on CHMOD and file permissions could take a shot at it if they want.

That didn't work either..
