This is not my first XOOPS install but i have no installations above 2.16 at the moment.
Followed instructions including using mainfile.dist.protector and changing it to mainfile.dist.php. Cannot put xoops_lib or xoops_data outside of root so I renamed them but even naming them back to the original names installation stops at "Could not copy the distribution to mainfile.php". This is the error message I get. Tried chimod 777 "mainfile" to make writing easier but it just stops there. What have I missed doing?

Make sure you've set all the directory permissions as required too. You can find the directions in the release notes at https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=4693

Make sure you set permissions for all the directories too:
* Ensure mainfile.php and uploads/ are writable by the web server
* Make the directory xoops_data/ writable; Create (if not already present) and make the directories xoops_data/caches/, xoops_data/caches/xoops_cache/, xoops_data/caches/smarty_cache/ and xoops_data/caches/smarty_compile/ writable

No problem. Glad you got it installed.
