I read the instructions on what I'm supposed to do but I'm not sure exactly where I'm to put the values stated...

I'm new to this format and I'd love to know where to make these changes if anyone could help. Do I add the numbers as posted within the "<>" or outside of that bracket??

original: <?php?>
change to: ?????? what ?????

3. Chmod the following files to 666 (ie, make sure that PHP can write to them).

./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php


REQUIREMENTS CHECK FAILED
We cannot proceed to install MyBB because you did not pass the minimum requirements to install MyBB outlined below:

The configuration file (inc/config.php) is not writable. Please adjust the chmod permissions to allow it to be written to.

The settings file (inc/settings.php) is not writable. Please adjust the chmod permissions to allow it to be written to.
lol. Nothing to do with the contents of the file actually Smile Right click the files in your ftp, and choose CHOMD, make it read and writable by all (Owner, Group, Other) so it is 666 or 777 (either works).

The steps to CHOMD a file depend on FTP program you using!
