You're welcome..

When you finish the install, don't forget to chmod config.php back to 644 and delete the install folder and everything else that is in it.. Sometimes the "lock" file isn't auto-generated and can cause logging in problems.

That's because you have to chmod the install directory to 777 for it to generate

Hi CraKter,

Thanks for that little snippet, as it was something I never knew... and have seen the problem posted here before, without that being explained.

Yet! my install dir was 755 and the lock file was generated.. Must be a server thing.. Lol!

That's impossible 0.o
Either that or your server is stupid or it is an windows server without permissions!

Apache... As in 'Linux' server..

It is strange though as I never chmod anything other than 755 and don't have these problems that other people seem to get. And I've been on 6 different servers.. I've also had install problems with folders being chmodded to 777 and the server rejecting the install as a security risk with the Error-Message "folder is accessible to all"

Mmmmm... ? The wacky world of cyberspace... Lol!
