I have a Joomla 1.5.20 site and I am not able to upload & update any file in it. The website is running on a Windows Webserver. 

Warning: file_put_contents(D:\inetpub\vhosts\hidden\httpdocs\v1\administrator\cache/da4f9e501a6359708d714f016ef2d500.spc) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\inetpub\vhosts\hidden.tld\httpdocs\v1\libraries\simplepie\simplepie.php on line 8666

I have tried deleting and recreating cache folder. Since it is a windows webserver I don't it a permission issue. Please advise me on how to fix it. Thanks!

  • can you please provide the code you're using? – Lodder Jan 13 '14 at 09:35
  • I'm not using any code. This error is showing everywhere in the joomla admin and I am not able to upload/update any files in Joomla. – user3044450 Jan 13 '14 at 10:25
  • Using ftp, update to joomla 1.5.26 then add the security patch here https://github.com/PhilETaylor/Joomla1.5.999 or here http://anything-digital.com/blog/security-updates/joomla-updates/joomla-15-security-patch-made-easy-to-install.html . Joomla 1.5.26 and below suffer from great vulnerabilities that have been exposed for years – Riccardo Zorn Jan 13 '14 at 13:33
  • Thanks Riccardo. I was planning to update it as the site was hacked sometime back because of a vulnerability in JCE Editor. – user3044450 Jan 13 '14 at 15:10

You need to check your folder permissions:

  1. Login to Administrator panel
  2. Select Help > System info from top menu
  3. Select tab Directory Permissions, all folders listed here need to have 'Writable' permissions.

If any of those folders are Unwritable, login to your server with ftp client, or cPanel, and change folder's CHMOD permissions to 755

  • I have already mentioned that it is a Windows Webserver and there is no chmod in it. I have checked in system info and all permissions are fine. – user3044450 Jan 13 '14 at 10:24
  • @di3sel, folders should be set to 755, not 777, due to security issues – Lodder Jan 13 '14 at 11:08
