I have a problem starting the software...

[Jason Brock]

I get the following error:

Creating site settings file...
Warning: fopen(load_settings.inc) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in /home/codetech/public_html/scgi-bin/phpak/install2.php on line 17
Couldn't create file.

Correct me if I am wrong I am suppose to setup the db user and db, then enter the info. into install.php...

sh0ii@yahoo.com

Oh, and the permissions should be fine...

[Jason Brock]

It turns out that loadsettings.inc was wrong, its suppose to be load_settings.inc

I still get this error though:

Connecting to database....Couldn't connect

all of the stuff was loaded to the file, but i can't connect to the server.

loadsettings.inc and load_settings.inc are actually two different files (yes it's confusing and I hit myself in the face everytime I think about it).

as to your original problem it appears that your permission settings are incorrect.  Did you change your permisions (CHMOD) on both "install2.php" *AND* the folder that all the files are in?

Also, if you have the most recent files from the latest Nightly .zip you can bypass this part of the installation by creating the "load_settings.inc" file manually.  More information about this is found in the manual. (let me know if you can't read .chm files though)
