Hi,

I'm installing Drupal 7.4

But getting following error:

 File system  The directory *sites/default/files* is not writable. An
automated attempt to create this directory failed, possibly due to a
permissions problem. To proceed with the installation, either create the
directory and modify its permissions manually or ensure that the installer
has the permissions to create it automatically. For more information, see
INSTALL.txt or the online handbook <http://drupal.org/server-permissions>.
OK
 Unicode library PHP Mbstring Extension
Error
 Settings file The settings file does not exist. The Drupal installer
requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation
process. Copy the *./sites/default/default.settings.php* file to *
./sites/default/settings.php*. More details about installing Drupal are
available in INSTALL.txt <http://127.0.0.1/drupal-7.4/INSTALL.txt>.
I did :

chmod a+w sites/default
mkdir sites/default/files
chmod a+w sites/default/files

And also this:

cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php
chmod a+w sites/default/settings.php

Even then the error remains as it is.

I looked into drupal forum but no one has got proper solution.

I'm installing it on Fedora 14.

Can it be SELinux issue?
Because I'm getting working whenever i  click on "proceed with installation"

Thanks.
