==Configuration==
Initial configuration (in the Joomla control panel) requires permissions on the configuration.php file to be made web accessible. This should only be done temporarily as anyone can have access to the file when it is in web accessible write mode.
cd to the folder where configuration.php is located eg if in /opt/joomla then do
cd /opt/joomla
or if installed to an ibay
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/joomla/html/
to see the current permissions (and you should make a note of them)
ls -al configuration.php
to TEMPORARILY change to a suitable value to allow Joomla control panel to make and save changes
chmod 770 configuration.php
Then make & save your changes in Joomla
Then you MUST change permissions back to safe values to prevent anyone from accessing the config file eg
chmod 640 configuration.php
