    Hi Doumawis

    Set your file permissions in your cpanel to 777 for the file confgure.php both in admin and catalog (includes), otherwise your database cannot write to your files. If you do not know how to do this, your host should be able to tell you.
    cheers

    Hi,

    Unfortanely no permission


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The following error has occurred:


    The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set.

    Please perform the following actions:
    cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/includes/
    touch configure.php
    chmod 706 configure.php
    cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/admin/includes/
    touch configure.php
    chmod 706 configure.php

    If chmod 706 does not work, please try chmod 777.

    If you are running this installation procedure under a Microsoft Windows environment, try renaming the existing configuration file so a new file can be created.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    so i try yet chmod 706

    The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set.

    cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/includes/
    touch configure.php
    chmod 706 configure.php
    cd /home/janzeros/public_html/osMAX/catalog/admin/includes/
    touch configure.php
    chmod 706 configure.php

    Did you also noticed the error message:

    touch configure.php

    I solved it: the right order of installation:

    FIRST SET THE PERMISSION OF THE 2 configure.php IN THE INCLUDESDIRECTORY TO 777=> now can the install script writing on it!
