I've chmod the file to 755 so the server would have the appropriate access, yet I continue getting the issue "Settings are Read Only on this screen." Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, but not everybody that's working with me on the server is acquainted with SSH or terminal commands, so it'd be ideal to have the control panel fully functioning. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. -Moses Title Comments After making the jump from 2.1.7 to 2.1.8, I've been having some issues with the config.php and the server settings from the admin panel.

Notice this portion of the screen: "All of the values displayed on this screen are configured in the config.php file in the root of this softwares directory structure. This means that if you need to change any values displayed below, you'll need to use a text-editor to make the changes, then re-upload the config.php file to your remote host." In order to protect the config.php file from accidental changes, the only way to modify it is to FTP a new copy in (or ssh in and use an editor to change, as you mentioned). This screen in the control panel is just to show you what they are currently set as. Since the config file addresses the entire server, only the BT Server administrator should ever have to change it. And, they can use FTP to do so. Mark Comments Hi Moses, This is by design.
