impossible to install components on joomla 1.5 i chmod all files to 777 but nothing; i think it's the safe mode??? help me please;

I too am having trouble with this and wondered the same thing (about safe mode). I downloaded free templates from joomlashack, and can't get them installed (following their instructions).

You will have to read up on how todo it manualy

in the ftp program I have, you can set the default settings to chmod everything to 777 or if you login to ftp filezilla, then you can right click to settings and chmod it 777 faster.

download the filezilla on 110mb.com to support and search ftp download
