At first u need to create the directories for the forum and the hidden files. it needs 777 as attribute because that will be the location the install script will write to. next put it anywhere u like on ur webserver (or account), it just has to be within ur webroot. after a fresh install it will default to chmod 600 for the theme directory. This will cause the problem already described by Holger. Best is to unlock the files in the AdminCP. sounds dangerous, but it isn't actually because, at Puretec the server never owns the files. The downside is of course that someone invoking commands via php will be able to browse ur directory and possibly read ur scriptfiles. U can't change this because at the same time u would prevent the webserver from reading ur files too. But this does not apply to the forum. it stores sensitive data within the hidden dir. Since the files there are never called directly u can protect this dir with .htaccess .
Bye Ken
