CMS Made Simple Forums

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

if you don't mind, please share your workaround for the benefit of others who might face the same issue

so did anyone have any joy with this?
have set all my permissions  to 777, But I still get the same error.

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.
