can't go beyond step 1 (solved)

[junglesilence]

i tried cmsmadesimple at opensourcecms and really liked it, but can't seem to get beyond the first step during installation.

the errors that I get are

Checking write permission on TMP_CACHE_LOCATION   ---- red cross
Checking write permission on TMP_TEMPLATES_C_LOCATION --- red cross

the ftp system I am using is netftp and I have set chmod settings of the tmp folder to 777 as told in the installation instructions.

I have repeatedly pressed the try again button at the bottom of step 1 screen, but even though the chmod setting is 777, the errors still show and I can't get past step one

Server is apache based, operating system is Linux. I am installing cmsms latest version 1.0.4

Would you need any other information? Please let me know how I can get this working. I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance

Have you created the two folders

cache
template_c

with chmod 777 in the tmp directory?

If not try that.

[junglesilence]

yes, i have chmod settings are 777 for all files and directories in the tmp directory. checked both cache and template_c seperately as well.

Is the tmp directory itself set to 777?

[junglesilence]

yes it is, tmp directory is set to chmod 777. but what else is needed?

If the host is Linux, try to install via ssh rather than FTP.

If FTP is your only option, try FileZilla instead of "netftp".

And check paths and filenames.
