Checking file and directory permissions..
Directory uploads/ is NOT writable.
Directory cache/ is NOT writable.
Directory templates_c/ is NOT writable.
File mainfile.php is NOT writable

After i had a problem with apache and it wouldnt let me into the htdocs folder, i fixed it by doing
#cd /var/www/localhost
#chmod -R 774 htdocs

Now it wont let me have permission to write...
arghhhh

Use your FTP program to change permissions. In most cases right click on the file on the server and choose properties. Set the permissions to chmod 777.

See the Xoops Installation Flash Tutorial for a working example of this method.

HTH.
