Hi.

Just made that... I put installer.php to CHMOD 444 and 555 but the error keeps running! :(

Can I give you the FTP login to you to see?

you could remove all writeable checks inside installer.php.

Would the script still have a problem since the dir would not be writeable?

I'm still hung up on the 777 dir not being writeable :(

Hi,

when you have to disable usertracking, you cannot add images and attachments and you cannot generate pdfs or xml files.

I am having the exact same problems. I have created a directory "phpmyfaq". Using ftp I have set permissions to 777. I have also set permissions of the subdirectory INC to 777. I get the same error message re: "The directory ../inc is not writeable."

Hello.
I solved my problem (the same here) as giving permissions 7777 and not 777.

This was perfect then...

Regards. Hope this helps.
