Yes this webhost sucks, I've read the Faq and modified init.inc.php
upon running install.php, the following error occurs :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: rmdir() in /.../install.php on line 119
The safe mode is on and probably misconfigured. The host won't allow to chmod any directory to 777 either.
I just want to check if there is something else to try, or if it's worthless.

It's in French, it may be useful for you..
try to turn on "silly_safe_mode" (refer to the documentation (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/demo/docs/index.htm#safe) that comes with coppermine how to do this).
