Re: Trouble with Permissions?
If you can't make a new directory or change directory permissions when logged in to your account with an ftp client or the cpanel file manager, then you should contact your server admin or domain hosting company, etc. and find out what the problem. These are basic web site procedures and I've never heard of them not being available to an account holder. These aren't TikiWiki problems, and can't be corrected with anything within TikiWiki. They are server functions that TikiWiki must have available in order to work properly.
The icons are missing in the screenshot because the option to use folder icons isn't selected in your installation. (In TikiWiki 2.2 anyway) go to the Admin > Look and Feel page (tiki-admin.php?page=look) and check "Display menus as folders".
