Cant update SQL database settings

[H0tSh0tZ1627]

I recently changed my password in my SQL datasbase, and Im trying to make that change in config.inc.php, but SmartFTP wont allow me to do it.  This is my config.inc.php:

Code Select Expand

<?php
// Coppermine configuration file
// Silly safe mode
define('SILLY_SAFE_MODE', 1);


// MySQL configuration
$CONFIG['dbserver'] =                         '****';        // Your database server
$CONFIG['dbuser'] =                         '****';        // Your mysql username
$CONFIG['dbpass'] =                         '****';                // Your mysql password
$CONFIG['dbname'] =                         '****';        // Your mysql database name


// MySQL TABLE NAMES PREFIX
$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] =                'cpg140_';
?>

Im getting this error in SmartFTP:

Code Select Expand

553 Can't open that file: Permission denied
    Transfer failed.

Anyone that can help, please?

change permissions (CHMOD) and/or ownership (CHOWN). If you can't, ask your webhost for support.

I tried to change the CHMOD permissions to 777 from 644.  I got this error message:

Code Select Expand

550 Could not change perms on config.inc.php: Bad file descriptor

Does this mean I would need to contact my webhost?  Or can something be done?
