Problem with permissions on install

Greetings, I am attempting to install CMSMS 1.2 on Linux, PHP 5.2.3, mysql 4.1.15, Apache 2.0 and Safe Mode is off.

I have uploaded the files, and set the permissions correctly via ssh, but for some reason all I get when I go to the install directory is a header and the following line in red:

Code: Select all

/path/to/tmp/templates_c is not writable, exiting
Now, I know for a fact that it IS writable, so I am sort of scratching my head here. Anyone seen this problem? I have searched the forum and so far have not found a useful answer.

Thanks!

John

It is writeable (you have chmod 777, haven't you ? and checked with ls -l ?), but is it a folder rather than a file ? I had made a silly mistake on this.

edit : and is tmp writeable itself ?

What is your Linux distribution ?
