&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Should this be in the FAQ page?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;&#039;&#039;One Fix for this problem (at least)&#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having struggled with this problem for 2 days, I was very surprised to find that there is a simple solution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answer appears to be to add this line to the .htaccess file in the root directory of the specific Joomla installation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Here&#039;s what works for me. I&#039;m using Joomla 1.5.3, SEF: on, Apache mod_rewrite; on. Just add this line to your .htaccess.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;SecFilterEngine Off&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The author of this fix is to be found here:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Just don&#039;t forget to comment out this line after changing one&#039;s site configuration ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
hope that this helps others.&lt;br /&gt;

== &#039;&#039;&#039; Note on systems with SELinux &#039;&#039;&#039; ==&lt;br /&gt;
When dealing with SELinux we need to update context of the /var/www/html/sites/ to read and write:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;# chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /var/www/html/sites/&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To check a SELinux context use ls command with -Z option.&lt;br /&gt;
Example:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;# ls -Z settings.php&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
-r--r--r--. apache apache unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0 settings.php&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For files copied from ~/ you may have wrong context as:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;# ls -Z default.settings.php&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
-rw-r--r--. 6226 6226 unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 default.settings.php&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
