hey,
Ok here are some things I found out: configuration.php is automatically set to be unwriteable because otherwise it'd be a security risk. You have to change it back and forth if you're interested in security.
The other problem I was having was actually with the WYSIWYG editor in Joomla. The browser kept giving me errors saying "access denied." I found info in another forum:
hi again,
well, i ran through this posting in another forum:
Why my Joomla/Mambo WYSIWYG editor is not working and don't allow me to either edit or save?
This is an old issue with all Mambo/Joomla driven sites installed via Fantastico. By default your domain name is set in the configuration.php file without the www. prefix and this is what makes WYSIWYG editor not working.
The WYSIWYG editor can be fixed by opening your configuration.php and replacing the bold text
from:
$mosConfig_livesite= 'yourdomainname.com';
to:
$mosConfig_livesite= 'www.yourdomainname.com';
Guess what! it works!
Spread the Word!

I tried it out and it solved the tinymce editor errors I was getting! Could you pass this fix onto fantastico people if they don't know about it? I don't know why it is an old issue but it seems like it could be a quick fix. Thanks for your help!
