Hi, recently at my forums I was trying to install a theme and it couldn't upload it, so I chmodded all of my forum folder to 777. Now, I can't access the forum at all. Everything brings up an error.

Can you access the error logs for your server in CPanel or another control panel?
It's probably because you CHMODd everything to 777, there's no need to do that and that's not going to get a theme to install, the only things you need to CHMOD to get a theme to install are ./cache/ and ./cache/themes/
I can.

Its Internal server Error. You've to contact to your host. Is not a MyBB error.
It's indeed what Matt says. Your server doesn't allow some files to have writing privileges for the other group. Do what Matt says and it will probably be fixed.
Thanks, support fixed the error, I've chmoded the cache to 777 and I still get this area.
    Upload failed. Please try again.Error details:
    PHP returned: Failed to write the file to disk. Please contact your forum administrator with this error.
If you get that even with ./cache/ and ./cache/themes/ CHMOD to 777 (try setting the folders inside ./cache/themes/ to 777 too) then there's nothing we can do about it, PHP can't write to the folder.
What sort of things would stop PHP writing to it?

There was another member who had similar problems. He changed the mode of all the necessary folders and he couldn't write to any of the folders. For that member the problem was that SELinux (an extra security layer) was preventing scripts executed by the webserver to write to the folders. If you don't have control over SELinux, you could ask your hoster to investigate this problem.
