Fail @ Step 7 - help required

[billbest]

hi

i've followed the steps up until step 7 - made the necessary file permission changes - but i get this error when i go to http://mydomain.com/install/install.php

> A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is
> in and try again.

install.php is 644 so i chmod'ed that to 777 but no joy.

any help is welcome - thanks in advance.

The owner of the file is the webserver? The server has to be able to write to the file.

The owner of the file is me - I'm on a third party hosted system.

I don't even know what webserver is running.

Surely chmod 777 would make install.php writeable by everything/everyone?

Thanks again.
