When I add a new page, it does not show up in Add/Edit page list and does not show up in menu either. I already had my hosting provider to set App_Data and Data folders to have read/write permissions. I also deleted the files under Data\Sites\1\systemfiles, but still the new page will not show up. I have to manually change web.config file to make the new pages show up. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Jeffrey

Thanks Joe. I am using the same web hosting company (Arvixe) as mojoPortal does, so I hope they know what they do. I submitted another ticket to confirm if the folder has the right permission.

System Log is empty, so I think the file permission is not set right.

I manually installed mojoPortal on my hosting account. Yes, the whole web site was initially writable, then I contacted the support team to lock down the folders that don't need write permission, I think they messed up the permission, because I started having problems since then.

The bad thing is Arvixe is having some server problem, so their support response is getting very slow.

Hello CodingBeaver,

I want to apologize for the issue you ran into. Such feedback is very valuable. I'm having a member of our Arvixe team write with me a blog tutorial on modifying folder permissions from the control panel. A second tutorial will be written specifically for modifying them for MojoPortal. I'll post them here when thats done. But in the meantime, to do this is simple. First login to your control panel, and enter the file manager. From there, enter into the site's folder, click the lock icon next to the wwwroot folder, and remove write access for the website user(site username starts with the first letters of the domain name), choose to have subfolders and files inherit this permission. Then go into the wwwroot folder, and click the lock icons next to  App_Data and Data folders, give write access to the site user, make it inheritable. That should do exactly what you want.

But if you want our staff to do it, simply make it clear that you want write access removed from wwwroot and then readded to those folders by emailing our support team. As mentioned, I'll paste the blog here in the upcoming couple days when we have it.

We're also going to work to make a modified MojoPortal installer to automatically set those permissions on account provisioning for future clients.
