I CHMODed the files that it said to, but that didn't work.

You have to go to the requirements check

So those folders are 777??

I got the same error ... and the installation instructions tell you to make them 666 not 777 !? I dunno, I am new to all this myself!

z.

No, files should be 666, folders should be 777.

Well that's a bit misleading for a newbie to read this in the installation instructions:

"# Using an FTP client (FlashFXP), upload the entire contents of the 'upload' directory to a visible directory on your web server (for example, forum or forums).
# CHMOD the following files to 666 (ie, make sure that PHP can write to them).

./inc/settings.php
./uploads
./uploads/avatars
./cache
./cache/themes
# In your browser, visit the URL where you installed your forums, appending /install/ on to the end of it."

steps above and below the relevant one included to show it doesn't say "unless it's a folder in which case make it 777" in the next line !!

I'm bursting to get my MyBB installed ... having a nightmare (see my thread!) :-(

./inc/config.php > 666
./inc/settings.php > 666
./cache/ > 777
./cache/themes/ > 777
./uploads/ > 777
./uploads/avatars/ > 777
./admin/backups/ > 777 (optional)
./inc/languages/english/all files in here > 666 (optional)
./inc/languages/english//admin/all files in here > 666 (optional)

Once that's done, and you still have the problem, we can look into it more.

I still have the error D:

So it still says the error when you reload the installation script when the CHMOD settings are correct??

Yea, it does :/

Can you PM me admin log in details and FTP details??
