Permission Denied message on index.php

But I haven't had it installed because I don't know how to install it. And I did read the directions.

It's because of the following that I thought you had it installed already:

I wasn't upgrading I have 1.4.2 I think. Should I upgrade? Like I mean is it necessary?

Now I kinda get what's going on. You seemed to have originally tried to install in the gallery folder. However, not all the folders and files got into that folder. You then seemed to try again in multiple folders in the gallery folder.

Let's start over. Delete the contents of the gallery folder. As it is, the structure is redundant. Instead of deleting, you can back up the contents and move them elsewhere. But let's have an empty gallery folder.

Extract the installation package and you should see folders and files required for coppermine to run. Upload those files and folders into the gallery folder. Read the installation instructions for the rest of the process.

I've got it working now! Thank you for all your help and patience.
