Editing templates

[Kevin Bailey <..hidden..>]

Hi,

I'd like to edit a template - currently the xedemo/en directory and 
xedemo/en directory are both empty currently.  And they can not be 
written to by the web server.

Do I need to allow certain directories to be writable by the web 
server?  And I take it that these directories need to be backed up as 
well as the database?

I'm having to be careful as I need to carry out the changes on a live 
server as I've not set up a test server yet.

Thanks,

Kevin Bailey
