writeable modules

[liberty]

This is ridiculous ! I have changed the permissions file by file in the modules folder but i can't get past this one. I just want to give it a try on my pc before use it in production, but it seems i will have to stick with other crm's which are not that pro like sugar, but simpler to install/manage. This is really a pitty.

I had some weird problems with permissions too.. so I just did a

chmod -R 777 modules cache

etc.

worst case even do a

chown -R nobody modules cache

don't have that problem now.

I am having the same problem ... and my hosting company doesn't offer shell access, so I sent the two hours resetting all the files, directories and subdirectories in the modules directory to 777 and it stilll says "Writable Modules Sub-Directories and Files - Not Writeable" Why doesn't the install util have a way to take my user name and pwd and change the files for itself?

What to do now???
