I was trying install PHP Forum and I got this error; and have absolutely know I idea of what it means or how to fix it? Can someone help?

Warning: main(./config.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in /home/content/j/i/g/jigger/html/common.php on line 111

Warning: main() [function.main]: Failed opening './config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/j/i/g/jigger/html/common.php on line 111

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/j/i/g/jigger/html/common.php:111) in /home/content/j/i/g/jigger/html/common.php on line 115

    The second and third errors are symptomatic of the first. Notice that it says "Unable to open" and "permission denied".

    Try setting the "config.php" file to a less restrictive set of permissions. There might be some instructions in a file called README or INSTALL or something like that...

    Even better (perhaps) look at see what "common.php" is trying to do in line 111 and reason it out from there...

    HTH,

      What are you talking about?

      Prior to the install it asked to change the config.php to all users. So, I did!

      Beyond that you lost me. I have absolutely no idea what "in blazes" you are talking about. I don't speak Greek or read hieroglyphics. I barely know PHP and I am oblivious to MySQL db jargon. Think of me as being simple minded and converse with me in layman's terms.

      I just want to install a PHP Forum on my web site and maintain it. I am not a programmer.

        Well, I may have to apologize for answering your question after midnight.

        PHP either can't find or can't read the file "config.php" and it spits out 3 error messages because of it.

          Well, I have everything fixed as far as I know. But then, that isn't saying about me. My next, and hopefully final issue is linking the forum to my web site.

          How do I do that? What do I use for the hyperlink, from my site to the forum? I can't use http://www.willametteweb.us /forum/index.php, because it doesn't work. Neighter does forum/login.php. I am absolutely clueless.

            Looks like the 'includes' folder is either missing or has the wrong permissions set on it.
