installation problem

Hi, could anyone please help?

Is it possible to install and use Moodle without changing default directory permissions?

I have no rights to change the directories' permissions. Even php chmod() doesn't work.

I can create directories through ftp..

Probably  this is why i get error messages like:

Warning: Unknown(): open(/....../moodle/upload/sessions/sess_ac30f4d03e3c128228779d08ee1fe32f, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/....../moodle/upload/sessions) in Unknown on line 0

I'm going to say a big fat 'no'.

But... why can't you change permissions? Have you spoken to your administrator? This is an odd situation to say the least. Are you *sure* that chmod in ftp does not work?
