Couldn't write config.php

[ravanegmond]

When i fill in everything on the install form and press go, i get the error message couldn't write config.php
And i don't know much about php maybe someone could tell me what to change in the config.php so i can upload it by my self.
And how to write the table in to the database? when i upload the config by my self.

Did you follow the installation instructions and CHMOD the includes directory?

Are you talking about right after you upload the program to your server and open: http://your_server/coppermine_dir/install.php ?  If so, I had the same problem.  It had to do with where my domain name was pointing to.  If your domain name is pointing to

http://your_server/coppermine_dir/

then make sure your go to

http://your_server/install.php

and not

http://your_server/coppermine_dir/install.php

i dunno if that helps or not

@webby: although I appreciate your willingness to help, your posting is wrong. If your server is misconfigured, it won't help to go with the misconfiguration and run the install script from another location. Your proposal is al well not related imo, as the original issue deals with write permissions (CHMOD issue).
