I tried to install v2.2, status given:

Checking file and directory permissions..
Directory uploads/ is writable.
Directory cache/ is writable.
Directory templates_c/ is writable.
File mainfile.php is writable.
No errors detected.


Then, when I confirmed the submitted data, after filling all the db name..bla,bla, bla.. Error shown:

Saving configuration data..
Could not write into mainfile.php. Please check the file permission and try again.

What happened?? Used WS_FTPHome to upload, did CHMOD 777 to the respected folders & file [cache, uploads, template_c, mainfile.php] but as if there were no changes to the files.

Then, I updated to 2.2.1 , still give me the error message cant write into mainfile.php. pls help!!!!! What could I do wrong?

Thx!

Your problem is likely SELinux if you're running a Red Hat type of distro.

To get around this, just chown apache mainfile.php

This should get you around the problem. Once it's updated, just chown it back to whoever owned it before.

I am using WinXP HomeEd.
What does 'chown' means and how to do that??

chmod and chown are Linux commands. They don't apply to Windows. On my XOOPS test site on Win2K, I have to change file permissions through Windows Explorer.

Are you running IIS or Apache? If you are running IIS, you will need to give the IUSR_MachineName (MachineName being your computers name) MODIFY permissions. You will need to disable Simple File Sharing in order to set NTFS permissions - Open Explorer, go to Tools Options & go to the view tab. Now scroll all the way down to the bottom & un check Simple File Sharing.
