    To not have these problems you must activate ftp layer from Global Configuration.

    Go to FTP and change the configuration.php file(you will find at root folder) permission and make it 777 and then you will edit that file. Hope it helps...

    And once you have done editing configuration.php change the permissions back to at least 644 or your site will be hacked, including your database
