MyBB Community Forums

Before I upgrade my forum I wanne make changes in a testforum and when I think its OK, I make the upgrade with the changes in the testforum.

- First of all I give the following file chmod666
./inc/settings.php
./uploads
./uploads/avatars
./cache
./cache/themes

Then I run the install file, but those files are not writable, so I change them to chmod777 and then they are writable.
But still some problems


Configuration File Writable: Not Writable
The configuration file (inc/config.default.php) could not be renamed. Please manually rename the config.default.php file to config.php to allow it to be written to or contact MyBB Support.

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

In the instructions I do not read that I must chmod those files?
Is this correct or whats wrong?

Usually all files need CHMOD 666 and all folders need CHMOD 777 to be writable. You have to CHMOD inc/config.php 666 as well as inc/config.default.php and everything should work.

standard setting of my controlpanel (directadmin) are
directories 755
files 644

Ow and a new install do not have a inc/config.php
After I gave the inc directory chmod 777 it works
