I cannot proceed with installation, atfer agreeing to GPL license next screen in setup gives me this warning:
The file setup.conf.inc.php in which all values are stored is NOT writable.

and then suggestion:

Please correct this problem before you can continue (connect to your account by FTP and permissions to chmod 777).

what I should do??? I don't know how to change the permissions. I have to add I work on a Mac and connect to FTP server with Transmit.

check:

http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/installation_en.phtml


set r/w permission to 666
rw-rw-rw

if problem persist set permissions to 777
rwxrwxrwx

after installation DELETE setup folder!!!


WITH TRANSMIT ( > v3.2.x):
ftp login to your server
select file

click 'file' --> information
OR
(apple key) Command i ---> ⌘i


set permissions as described...

With Transmit, you can remotely change the permissions of files and directories on a web server by doing the following:

Connect to the webhost's server with Transmit. Once connected, single-click a directory or file that you would like to set/change permisssions for.

Then, from the File menu, select Get Info. An information window will appear. In the "Permissions" section, there will be a table with "User:" (or "Owner:" in some earlier versions of Transmit), "Group:", and "World:" listed on the left. Check the appropriate boxes next to Read, Write, or Execute for each category, as indicated below:

The settings for permissions involve "correlating to" the 666 or 777 numbering scheme (if you do your homework, on the web!

When you have set the permissions, close the information window. Click Yes or OK when asked if you want to update the file or directory with your changes.

thanks guys I managed to work it out.I just didn't realized that I can change permissions using get info option. Everything installed and runs perfectly but I have no idea how to use it Probably you will see me very often on this forum asking questions.

Hi All,
I have the same message to change the chmod to 777. I've changed it. But the message continues.

The server report marks as yellow:

register_globals On (should always be set Off)
safe_mode Off (check information about security risks)

Does this matters for this part of the setup regarding the even the chmod is already 777?
