Installation Error

[luismart]

I am a newbie on CMS made simple and I've been trying to make the installation work for 6 hrs + now!

I'm using PHP 5.2.12 on a Debian Server type with MySQL version 5.0.77

I changed the directory permissions to 777 as requested,

When I go to the index.php file I get the following message:

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log.

and when I go to install/index.php

I get the "you dont have permission" message

Thank you in advance for your help!

I changed the directory permissions to 777 as requested,

Which folders?
I suppose that you can access to root user, change owner of your whole cmsms installation to your apache user (usualy www, apache or nobody)

Thank you Alby,

The folders that I changed to 777 were

tmp
tmp/templates_c
tmp/cache
uploads
uploads/images
modules

modules is useless, however, if you have root access try to change to your apache user.
Sometimes some providers with a particular php cgi settings necessity that php files must have a fixed permission to 755
