re-installation problems

[Duelist]

I just inherited admin of a website, the former admins quit.  I removed coppermine because they refused to provide me with access, and I would like to get it back up and running.  I have re-installed everything the way it was, but when I try to run install.php, I get the following:


Warning: Unknown(/var/www/localhost/htdocs/coppermine/install.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/var/www/localhost/htdocs/coppermine/install.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0


Have I failed to remove something that is preventing re-installation, or is this an entirely different problem?  Any help you can provide will be extremely appreciated.

you seem not to have uploaded all coppermine folders and files, or you have mixed the folder structure up. Get a fresh package from the downloads section, unzip it (preserving the folder structure when unzipping). Re-upload everything and try again. If you still get an error, post a link to your page.

joachim,

I am having the same problems with an initial installation, except the path listing appears to be "Windows" format, and I'm trying to install on a unix server.  I have downloaded and installed the files 3 times, and I keep getting the same thing when I go to the install page.

My attempted gallery is located here:
http://www.raptorcentral.com/gallery/install.php

. . .And the error I get is this:
Warning: Unknown(C:\Domains\raptorcentral.com\wwwroot\gallery\install.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening 'C:\Domains\raptorcentral.com\wwwroot\gallery\install.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in Unknown on line 0

I've checked help and didn't see any others (other than the fellow above) with a similar problem, and I've also tried to dig through the config files to no avail.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Anthony

ADDED:  I forgot to mention that I did change the CHMOD settings to 755 or 777 (neither worked) on the appropriate folders.

C:\Domains

shows you're on a Windows server, not a Unix one. There's no CHMOD on Unix, you have to set Windows permissions accordingly. If the server isn't yours to administer, contact your webhost. Most webhosts offer a control panel where you can set permissions.

You're on a windows server, running IIS 6. I assume you have uploaded the install.php file and that is the correct location ?
