Make sure that /install/class/mainfilemanager.php is there (not mainfile.php) if not, try uploading /install/class/mainfilemanager.php again.

Install directory permissions @777 during install.

you may just want to upload the whole install/class/ directory over the top of the existing one in case anything else is missing.

Post back if that doesn't work.

thx
chmod 777 ../install

no change, same error:
Saving configuration data..
Could not write into mainfile.php. Please check the file permission and try again.

For my info, in the pre-setup info, one is supposed to set mainfile.php permissions, but I did not find a 'mainfile.php' in the distribution...

what XOOPS ver are you installing?

I'm guessing that mainfilemanager.php was missing and you put it to the server...?

mainfile.php should be in the dist. root. (not a sub-dir)

you can copy mainfile.dist.php as mainfile.php and retry.

last chmod mainfile.php in the root dir dir to 777 before you retry

try dat.

thx,
version 2.2.3 whatever most current

found problem was in the scp proccess from machine 1 to 2...only transfer directories - none of the files in the root distribution got transferred.

dumb!
