Hello ppl,

I installed drupal...and then the PHPTemplate and then grey_box...that was easy and its say acheivable....

now there is the issue...i am trying to configure the grey_box...and that should be okay...isnt it..?? but there is the problem, as i try to configure it thru the adminstration -> themes -> configure and i try to upload the logo that i want it gives me these errors...

warning: mkdir(files): Permission denied in /home/sites/NeuronBank/www/drupal_new/includes/file.inc on line 86.

and also this one...

* The directory . is not writable.
* File copy failed: no directory configured, or it could not be accessed.
* The directory files does not exist.

and i cant seem to figure out why.....permission denied but i cant seem to change the permission and i dont know how to do....
__________

so i try to do some programming...and i open the page.tpl.php and change the logo to my logo that i want it to be...and it worked but with a price to pay...now my site looks weird as the alingment is bizzare....the site is www.neuronbank.org/drupal_new ....

please have a look and let me know....as i am trying hard to learn this...

ill appreciate it...

You have a file system permissions problem. Since I don't know what operating system you are using, I can't tell you exactly how to fix the problem, but you need to make sure that you have a files directory in your Drupal installation and that it is writable.

Have you been moving things around in the themes directory? Your page has a link to a non-existent stylesheet:
themes/engines/phptemplate/box_grey/layout.css

Where did that come from? box_grey shouldn't be in the engines/phptemplate directory. I suggest getting the entire themes directory from the original download and starting over.
