Which version of the forum you've tried to install?
The reason for this error is quite simple, installer put a test file in a directory, which you specified as your forum main(root) web directory. The it tried to access the file using the web path to the forum. Since it was unable to get the file, the installer complained about the fact your paths do not appear to match.

Yeah

Well... if you are still seeing the problem it would be MOST helpful if you could offer more information about the enviroment where you're trying to install FUDforum.
Such as, which OS, which webserver as well as which PHP you're running. That said, if you could show me phpinfo() on your system that would be great.
Also, does your forum directory of the directories above it contain any .htaccess files that may cause URL mangling and redirection?

I cant ge that phpinfo() thing to work, i am on a unix host and the directory doesnt have any .htacess files in it.

Hmm... it is unusual but your host could have disabled php's phpinfo() function.
Okie... try running this test and see what it outputs.
1st in a web browseable directory create a file "test.html"
and put "<html>Hello world</html>" inside that file.
The create a php script with the following code:
<?php
$fp = fsockopen("YOUR_SERVER_NAME", 80);
fputs($fp, "GET PATH_TO_TEST_FILE HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: YOUR_SERVER_NAME\r\n\r\n");
while( !feof($fp) ) echo htmlspecialchars(fgets($fp, 1024))."<br>";
fclose($fp);
?>

Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/kunden/web190/html/chimera45/test.php on line 1
that is what comes up.
I have NO knowledge of php so if you can direct me to a php learnign site then i would be very grateful.

uhm...
the script seems okey....
show me the contents of the file you've made.
You were s'posed to replace
YOUR_SERVER_NAME with your domain name, for example www.mydomain.com
and also replace PATH_TO_TEST_FILE with the webpath of the file, for example /forum/test.html
