Sounds to me as if for some reason the permissions for Apache to write to the directory or overwrite the file has been modified. You might need to contact your hosting company if you don't have access to reset the permissions.
Yes, I did have the permission problem, which has been corrected by my ISP early yesterday. I too did hope that fixed the problem, but it is still present. I really wish to find which table stores this info so I can fix it there.
File permission information is not stored in the database. That is something that is at the file level.
You have two issues to check here: 1) the owner and group of the file, and 2) the permissions of the file. If the file's owner and/or group have write permission, but isn't the same owner and/or group that the webserver is running as, then your file won't get updated.
A couple of other things to consider are that files _and_directories_ need to have the proper permissions set, and while a permission level of 0660 (that gives the owner & the group read & write access) should be adequate, you could have the directory and files set to 0777 (that gives everyone [owner, group & other] full access [read, write & execute]) just to verify if that is actually the problem or not.
