help >>> Unable to write config file 'include/config.inc.php'

[aikes]

Hi all,

This is my first time installing coppermine and during the installation i get this error :

Code Select Expand

Unable to write config file 'include/config.inc.php'

i have chmod 777 to the albums and include folder as well as the edit and userpics folder in albums.
i read the 2 previous thread that had this problem and the post were suggesting to give the include folder write permission.
i even chmod all the files in the include folder and still gets the same error.

would really appreciate it if someone could help =)

Try 755 if 777 doesn't work.

Try 755 if 777 doesn't work.

tried chmodding 755 to the folders but still doesnt work, if i use 755 during the installation it will tell me to use 777 instead


does the folder meant to have that file already? because there a file called config.inc.php.sample only

Have you asked your host what permissions must be set for a PHP script to write a file to the server?

erm nope coz im installing this in my uni, as each IT student gets web space for it. but basically giving a file write permission will do it.

May be, you can try to edit manually the file, then upload it.

Same problem - different user.
I'm running: WinXP Pro SP2, IIS 5.5, PHO 4.3, MySQL 4.1
With this config I cannot make installation to go through.

I changed permission of both folders (albums, include) - gave them full access (via Properties/Security/IUSR...) - and nothing.

What else I need to do?

As always, I could not have done it without you
