Step 3 of the installation says to change the access permissions for 

CHMOD the following files to 666 (ie, make sure that PHP can write to them).
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php (you must rename config.default.php to config.php first)
./inc/languages/*your_language*/*all files* (optional)
./inc/languages/*your_language*/admin/*all files* (optional)

CHMOD the following folders to 777 (ie, make sure that PHP can write to and execute from them).
./cache/
./cache/themes/
./uploads/
./uploads/avatars/
./admin/backups/ (optional)

./settings.php
./inc/config.php
both wont upload on my server because they are empty.

Why are they empty?

How do I upload them?
*Edit* I just added a dot into the files and then they uploaded and I continued with the steps

understand that but they wouldnt upload into my control panel on my server because they were empty. SO I added (.) in each file. That worked. I hope it doesnt effect the db later.
