Hi
I am trying to install silverstripe on an apache webserver but the install.php page is not letting me as there are permissions errors that aren't going away.
When I first go to the install.php page I get error messages for three files that it says apache is unable to write to the files/folders are ".htaccess", "mysite/_config.php", and "assets". So when I go into the server and change the permissions on these files and reload the install.php page the error for the "assets" folder goes away but the others stay. I've tried changing various permissions on the files and it still doesn't work. Some of the things that I have tried are making apache the owner of the files, changing the files permissions to "777" and changing the permissions for the directory that the files are in to "777". I have also done the steps that are on the "Silverstripe server requirements" page.
So the problem must be somewhere else in linux with some other configuration. Please if anyone has encountered this problem before or knows some possibilities of things that may be affecting this let me know.
Thanks Liam.
