Users unable to change permissions gallery G2 folders.

[TogaDave]

So far my searches here have not turned up an answer so I'm hoping someone who knows about this sees this post.

When a user installs Gallery (G2) they are unable to change the permissions on a folder (such as /modules/) neither from FTP nor from the cPanel file manager.

Does anyone here know what might cause this and what the solution is?
Thanks very much for any ideas.

I think the only plausible cause for that situation is that the folder is not owned by them. Do a ls -al at the command line in that directory and see who owns it, then chown it. The permanant fix for future installations would be to modify the installation script.
