funky PHP error on fresh install

[proyebat]

Hi I'm kinda new to modphpBB3, and to PHP, but I installed this as my forum. I followed every thing in the "how to install modphpbb3" thread, but I get nowhere with this page instead of the ACP

Code: Select all

Fatal error: ./../cache/ is NOT writable. in /home/a6792799/public_html/forum/includes/acm/acm_file.php on line 103

when I try to change the settings in the ACP. Everything is followed normally, but on the config.php, I changed the $dbhost = 'localhost'; to 'mysql1.000webhost.com' because my web host wants it to be(doesn't work without using that)
Any help?

First, make sure the correct permissions are set on the following files:
755 - store/, cache/, files/, images/avatars/upload/, arcade/gamedata, includes/arcade/games

Try setting them at 777 instead.

Your /cache folder has incorrect permissions, hence the error.

Thanks, setting that folder to 777 fixed the problem.
