[solved]Directory not writable!

[aragornmouf]

Hello,

I'm trying to install cms made simple, but I get this error message
"Directory not writable! /home/waterfro/cms/tmp/templates_c
Please correct by executing: chmod 777 or set writing permission for php process, exiting! "

Which would be no problem, except that my server doesn't allow chmod 777 under any circumstances. So how do I set writing permission for php process? If someone can tell me how to do that, it would be great 

thanks in advance

edit: Or if there is another work around that would be fine with me too.

found a work around myself

From http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ck_Install :
"Notice : some hosting contexts may need the modules directory be chmoded 755 (or 775) instead of 777".
This may be true for other directories also.
Hope it helps.
