CHMOD Properly.

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)

Sorry but this really dose not make sence are you saying
rename all these folders
./cache/
./cache/themes/
./uploads/
./uploads/avatars/
./admin/backups/ (optional)

to 777

Not rename. You need to set the permissions.

Using FileZilla to upload your files? then right click, select last option, set provided permission.





Put the neumeric values for respective folders as described. Then try to run installation.

i do not have file permission option when i right click????

Do it from file manager of cPanel then ...

Ok i have managed that bit but now i have a new error grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
