Installing: Directory shows 755, install.php says 777.

Im testing out a new hosting providor, and installing coppermine.

running, install.php I get the message

The 'include' directory (located in the directory where you uploaded Coppermine) should be writable in order to save your configuration. Use your FTP program to change its mode to 777.

The 'albums' directory (located in the directory where you uploaded Coppermine) should be writable in order to allow pictures upload. Use your FTP program to change its mode to 777.

The 'userpics' directory (located in the 'albums' directory on your server) should be writable in order to allow pictures upload. Use your FTP program to change its mode to 777.

The 'edit' directory (located in the 'albums' directory on your server) should be writable in order to allow pictures upload. Use your FTP program to change its mode to 777.

Those directorys are 755 (which should work riight?)
Since I cant change them to 777.

So im not sure what im missing.

tanks.

Some server setups running in safe mode need the folders to be at 777 to be writable for the script.
Coppermine checks to see if it can write, and gives the error you posted if it cannot.
So if you have no means of changing the permissions, then you will have to ask your host to chmod the folders for you.
