Unable to change anything after moving the cms directory

[Zegnåt]

Downloading the files to a computer and then uploading them to a new location would erase their permissions.

So I guess downloading and uploading files, even though the CHMOD might be set the same, will then mess with the ownership which makes it inaccessible to the admin panel?

This sadly will mean that porting GetSimple from one server to a next is impossible unless you are prepared to put your data files with completely open (777) permissions. Something Chris might want to pick up.
