I've put my templates folder to 777 writable but i still get this message :

./temp/templates writable? Fatal: ./temp/templates is not writable, installation cannot continue.\

Why ?

Thanks

have you ever used the "chmod" function in your ftp program?
You just need to change the write permissions of
/temp/templates and
/temp/
to 777 using this function. If you still aren't getting it...don't worry...we will help you until you do get it. :)

As David said above, you need to chmod the temp folder AND the temp/templates folder.

Note: chmod'ing the 'temp' folder to 777 will not automatically also chmod the 'templates' folder to 777 (even though templates is in the 'temp folder'.

Looking at my site, you have already chmod'd the temp folder but you haven't chmoded the temp/templates folder.

If you use a command prompt, like unix, ot goes something like
$cd temp/templates
(navigate to the templates folder)
$chmod 777 templates

I use an FTP client to do this (Windows XP) and its call WS-FTP Pro. You can download a 30 day demo from http://www.ipswitch.com/downloads/index.html (download) WS_FTP Professional. Install the software,

!) Open it and click on File from the tope menu and select Connect from the drop down
2) From the box the opens, select File from the top menu and select New Site from the drop down
3)Enter
Site Profile name = "Your site name"
Host name or IP address = "Host name or IP address"
Click next then put in your FTP login username and password. Don't worry about the Account bit.

Now click FINISH

4)Now select the new account you created and click connect. Use the right window once you're in to your server to navigate to whatever/temp/templates. When you can see the 'templates' folder in the right windows. RIGHT CLICK on the folder and select FTP commands from the drop down (left click) and select CHMOD. Type in 777 and you're done.

I hope this helps.

You have to change the rights for /temp/templates, not /templates!
