From your root install directory, you need to do this in the command
line:<br>
<br>
chmod a+w sites/default<br>
<br>
Once installation is complete, you then:<br>

chmod go-w sites/default<br>

The Drupal installer requires that you create a
settings file as part of the installation
process. Copy the <em style="margin: 0px;
padding: 0px; border-width: 0px;
vertical-align: baseline;">./sites/default/default.settings.php</em> file
to <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;
