Installing 1.2.5: chmod & GT problems

I have the folowing problems when I try to install the 1.2.5-DEV version.

In the 5th Step of the installation the following error message appears:
Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/setup/setup.func.inc.php on line 51
Filestorage bar is in red and it shows: FALSE (exists + not writable)

I check the permmision of "phpwcms_filestorage" folder and it seems to be ok with 777, then I open the folder and find another one called "can_be_deleted". I change the permissions of this folder to 777 and the rest of the installation seems to work fine and without errors.

I don't know if it is normal because I installed the previous versions without this incidence.

Everything seems to work ok. But when I try to install a font in GT mod the following error messages appear over the font list:
Warning: Missing argument 11 for show_picture() in /home/httpd/vhosts/formma.com/httpdocs/include/inc_module/mod_graphical_text/inc_front/gt.func.inc.php on line 118

Warning: Missing argument 12 for show_picture() in /home/httpd/vhosts/formma.com/httpdocs/include/inc_module/mod_graphical_text/inc_front/gt.func.inc.php on line 118

Warning: Missing argument 13 for show_picture() in /home/httpd/vhosts/formma.com/httpdocs/include/inc_module/mod_graphical_text/inc_front/gt.func.inc.php on line 118
Despite this I can see the font installed and work with it correctly, but I don't know how will other features work after this problematic installation.

I have repeated the installation from zero three times and nothing changed.

I am not upgrading, but making a new installation, and I find these problems extrange because I installed 1.2.3-DEV in the same server and worked with it without problems.

Thanks in advance for your help.

hello

this is normal cos the setup script has an automatic chmod script included.when this is not allowed by your provider this will happen. so set the permissions manually and all will be fine!

that works for the first installation problem, but didn't solve the Graphical Text one.

For this issue I decided to substitute the new gt.func.inc.php file with the old one (v. 1.2.3) and seems to work well, but unfortunately I'm afraid that it's not a smart solution indeed.
