Ok. I downloaded Coppermine 1.4.12 and then created a directory on my site "photos" and uploaded the files to it through FTP and then I changed the permissions on "albums", "albums/userpics", "albums/edit", and the other directory i created inside albums that i titled "pics". I couldn't find the "include" file or directory... whatever or whereever it is so I wasn't able to change the permissions to 777 for that one. Even though i couldn't find the "include" I ended up going on the the next step to create a MySQL database and I just titled it photos.
Then I tried going to the url to begin installing (which to my understanding would be http://www.ilovethestate.net/coppermine/install.php) but I got all I got was a 404 error.
I'm confused on a couple things. First, the "include" and second the MySQL. Do I have to give it a specific name or something because all I did was go to my MySQL and made one called Photos. Is there more to it then just naming a MySQL?
Also, If I just go to my photo's url it comes up with my index of photos which has the cpg1412 folder and when I click on that it says,
Warning: main(include/init.inc.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.rumor/ilovethestate10/ilovethestate.net/photos/cpg1412/index.php on line 68
Warning: main(include/init.inc.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.rumor/ilovethestate10/ilovethestate.net/photos/cpg1412/index.php on line 68

here's the link to the photo's page: http://ilovethestate.net/photos/ (http://ilovethestate.net/photos/)
then the link to the cpg1412: http://ilovethestate.net/photos/cpg1412/ (http://ilovethestate.net/photos/cpg1412/)
So yeah, I'm aware that I could be making any number of mistakes but I'm hoping that someone out there would be able to help me out so I can get this thing up and running. Thanks!
Installer is here: http://ilovethestate.net/photos/cpg1412/install.php
When you run the installer it will ask you what the database was called, so you enter the name you chose there.
The include directory is a prt of Coppermine and should be in the package you downloaded. Once you upload that the error messages will go away.
You don't need to keep Coppermine in the cpg1412/ folder, you can move it up a level to make the url nicer.
Thank you so much! I have it all installed and got the url changed to just photos. Thanks a lot!
