    • Are you reffering to "params.ini is not writable!"?

      If so, you can just ignore it as long as changes are being made :)

    • no, to folders. Eg. Cache folder is unwritable even if it's 775

      Thanks

    • yeah, I am pretty sure your server doesn't have suPHP installed. Then you need to chmod that to 777, and change it back to 755 again after you installed.

    • but the cache folder is in use all the time and very risky to leave it 777

      Thank you.

    • yes.. 777 is a security risk but some hostings need folder permissions to be chmod to 777 for them to appear as writable.. what's your hosting? how about asking them to install suphp (if you use VPS or dedicated server)

    • Maybe you can talk to the webhost and ask them to check that all the ownership's of files and folders are ok.

      I'm not talking about permissions :P

    • or if you are trying to install Joomla 1.5, hey, it has ftp layer, and it can works without needing to chmod to 777 and I think it can write the files. Let's try ;)
