Chmod 777 in the dblayer directory didn't help. But chmod 777 * in the forum's root directory solved the problem. Thanks! =)

Topic: Permission denied in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/forum/install.php... (2 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Hi!
I've got troubles with the installation process of PunBB. I'm trying to install PunBB on my own Linux server. (Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4, MySQL 4.0.17)
When pressing "Start Installation" (install.php) I get this message:
Warning: main(./include/dblayer/mysql.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/forum/install.php on line 284
Because I'm a complete newbie to MySQL, my own suggestion is that something is wrong with the privileges of the database.
I've installed phpMyAdmin and created a mysql user "punuser" (HOST=localhost Password=Yes Global privileges=USAGE Grant=No) and a database "pun" which punuser has access to (Privileges=ALL PRIVILEGES). Is that okay?
Well, I'm stuck! What else could cause this error? Please help!
Cheers, Nils
