Hello,
I don't know if there is already a reply to my question.
Well I'm new to MT and I have proceeded regularly until the step "Create Your First Website". At this step, I get the error: "The 'Publishing Path' provided below is not writable by the web server. Change the ownership or permissions on this directory, then click 'Finish Install' again."
I created a folder under root and gave to it 777 permissions. Is it possible that web_server is not able to write to this folder?
Please help me. Thanks.

Well, this is a permission problem, and MT complain is simply what it writes: it can't write to that folder.
Maybe the directory above the target directory is not readable by the web server?
Hi Gabriele,
You may like to ask your hosting support to set the proper ownership and permission for your folder.
If you want a more secured environment, then you may like to ask your hosting support if they could activate suexec for your project and if they do, then you could ask them to set the permission on your "public_html" folder to 755.
When running under suexec, you should add to your movable type installation "mt-config.cgi" file the following directives:
DBUmask 0022
HTMLUmask 0022
UploadUmask 0022
DirUmask 0022
HTMLPerms 0644
UploadPerms 0644
Kind Regards,
Mihai Bocsaru
