I have written some web software that I use a lot and may even distribute at some point, so I decided to create an "installer" feature where, the first time you load the web app, it prompts for installation. This is similar to how many forum installers work. I've ran into an issue where the installer won't work on my server because CHMOD is failing on the server saying: "Warning: chmod(): Permission denied".

I've tried everything to fix this. Even after I logged on to my server and changes the permissions of the .php file executing the CHMOD command, it still fails. Well, actually it works for the 2 files that are in the same folder as the .php script, but always fails on any CHMOD attempts on files not in the same directory as the script.

Is there any way around this? I just want people on Linux and Windows server to be able to install this just like they would a forum.

Thanks for any help!
