Hello,
i just copied the installation files to my windows 2003 server (c:\inetpup\wwwroot\forum), installed php 5.3.1 and mySQL 5.1.42. The "/forum/install/" page is available but the requirements check is failing:
<php version: 5.3.1
<supported db extenions: mysql improved, mysql, postgresql, sqlite 3
<supported translation extensions: multi-byte, inconv
<php xml extensions: installed
<configuration file writeable: not writeable
<....
and all other files are also not writeable.
The "read-only" option is unchecked.
Anyone knows a possible reason?
Sry, im a noob with this such of stuff.

ehm, im using WINDOWS...so no CHMOD! o_O or im wrong? anyway, for temp i gave "everyone" write rights, but seems like it has nothing to do with that.
Yeah I didn't think Windows understood CHMODs and it'd just sort itself out, I'll see if a developer knows what to check.
It could quite possibly be the actual ./inc/ directory itself, rather than the config file. I know Server 2007 throws a bit of fit when I mess with user permissions...
A method that works for me is to manually create the file (just make a blank php file falled config.php). For some odd reason, anyway.
Thanks Tomm, i tried to create the config.php by myself...but i still got the same problem.
That's strange, it works for me.
The ./inc/ directory is writable for everyone, yes? You're not using a read-only server are you?
yes, everyone got write rights. Read-only server? The files themself got no read-only flag, but the folder got a greyed out read-only flag. But i think this is an default attribute setting on NTFS drives.
I think its related to IIS.
I just moved the installation files from C:\ to D:\ and changed the homedirectory from the default web site to it. Now cache, file upload and avatar upload folders are writeable, setting and config file still not.
Update: Ok, i made it. I also added modify rights for "everyone" to the folder on drive d:\, and everything is writeable now. Hm, still a bit strange, but hopefully i can continue now with installation.
WONDERFUL! its working.
just getting everywhere this:
Warning [2] date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Paris' for '1.0/no DST' instead - Line: 520 - File: D:\www\Forum\admin\modules\tools\system_health.php PHP 5.3.1 (WINNT)

That's what I mean by read-only server.
If one part of the structure is not writeable, Server 2003 might not like it - but glad you got it sorted though.
That error can be resolved by setting the right date.timezone setting in php.ini.
thanks again, just changed it and its gone.
ty all.
