Just to add my 2-cents...
It worked for me.

to the config file
Renamed the admin dir to

Using NClearnGrey & CMSMS version 1.10.2

I did all of the steps. But when I create a database it tells me the cms (name) is already taken, which I've never created one yet? Are you on GoDaddy or another shared hosting site? If that is the case, try using a name that is unique to your site like mysitecms I mention that b/c the same happene...

I changed the umask to everything under the sun (based on previous posts) and changing it to 000 seemed to work.

Thanks!

More Information: I just did a reinstall from scratch. The version is 1.9.4.1 "Faanui" The only odd thing I see (I don't know what this SHOULD be) is the umask setting. I left it as a default. Owner: unknown Group: unknown Permissions: -rw-r--r-- (0644) I seem to be able to upload images f...

From scratch... I just installed a new version for the first time in a long time, so I thought I'd share...

I am not new to using cmsms and LOVE this cms. I am using it again for a new project and am hitting a roadblock I've never seen before. I have hosting on GoDaddy: Linux PHP 5.x MySQL 5.0 All permissions for folders have been changed as necessary. CHMOD these directories to 777: * tmp * tmp/templates...

Thanks, Remington.  I needed to do the same thing and your information worked.

Thanks to all!  I took all of the advice (thanks for the helpful links) went back to the server admin with additional info.  It appears to have been things my server admin needed to button down.  

Many apologies.  I'm using the latest version and worked with our unix admin to set up all of the permissions during installation.  He then changed the config file permssions per the directions and I deleted the install directory. I just got an angry message from him that he is not going to allow CM...

I keep getting hacked!  I am doing all of the things the setup says to do.  I even delete the install directory and change the permissions on the config file.  Any ideas?
