Had a couple problems when setting up Concrete 5 on my website

Permalink
Can someone please help, I'm not sure what to do?

Web Server Access to Files and Configuration Directories
The config/, packages/ and files/ directories must be writable by your web server.

and

Version Comparison Available
You must chmod 755 concrete/libraries/3rdparty/htmldiff.py and disable PHP safe mode.

How to make changes so that it will work properly?

I answered a similar post here (http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/installation/quick-permissions-problem/#177214). Let me know if that helps at all.

I'm still having a problem, I managed to get the Version Comparison to clear but the Web Server access still is giving me a problem.

Could you describe the problem or post the error message you get.

I think it said Error 500 and said to email webmaster which is me. But it won't allow me to set everything in my public_html to 775.

All the other dir's besides /config /files /packages have to be 755 and not 775

Everything is 755 and still don't work.

After, checking the link now it seems that your / config / files / packages dir are not writtable

You got to chmod 777 to / config / files / packages dir

Started changing things and already got an error coming up:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@nativeexpress.ca and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Changed everything back to 755, this is getting frustrating!

When you change the permissions on the folders (config/packages/files), make sure you do so "recursively". Meaning the directory and all files and sub-directories under it.

Absolutely every file in the public_html folder is 755 now and still it doesn't work. I've tested it numerous times and still it comes up with...

http://www.nativeexpress.ca/index.php/install/?submit=Run+Tests+Aga...

At first I just changed anything that came up in my search for (config, files, directories, packages but nothing worked so I went to changing every file to 755 and still nothing. It can't be this hard. Don't know what's going on?

Do you have anything in your Apache logs that might give us a clue?

Is this a Linux box? Selinux turned off? PHP Safe mode turned off?

I'll have to check into that as for the apache logs, I'll have to check into that as well. I've never really messed around with my cpanel too much and don't know where everything is. I'm on a Mac, I use mamp and Dreamweaver to build basic sites.
