Stuck on step 4, but CHMOD-ed!

Having problems installing EM? Let's fix that
Forum rules
DO NOT give out any FTP passwords to anyone! There is no reason to do so! If you need help badly enough, create a temporary FTP account that is restricted to only the files that you need help with and give the information for that. Giving out FTP information can be very dangerous!

First, un-CHMOD all the stuff... They shouldn't be any more than 744. Also, could you post the actual error message you get on step 4? Thanks. 8)

My apologies, I thought it said that in what I posted before :oops:

It says
Critical Error: Unable to complete writing of post process file.
But above that, there's all of this. I read and re-read and RE-read the FAQ, and it simply said to make sure that the permissions were appropriate here.

I think this may be one of those tmp directory write permissions problems, BUT, had you paid attention to the recommended settings, you probably would not have had that problem. :P

I didn't find any TMP directory... is the mod supposed to create one somewhere?

Forget the tmp thing, just try the server-server-copy settings. 8)

Gaah, still got an error. This time, it let me get to step five, though...

ERRORS:

Could not open [admin/admin_easymod.php] for reading

Could not find [templates/subSilver/admin/mod_install.tpl].

Install Failed
EM is not properly installed and you will need to fix the above error(s).

I really don't have any clue what could be causing it at this point, as you can see, there aren't any problems with the permissions :)
