I kept getting this error with a fantastico install.
Contacted my host and the changed permissions
Here is waht they said the problem was
"The issue is that our new servers run phpsuexec. This means that php scripts execute as your user. There are some security restrictions in place because of this.
Here are the basic guidelines:
1. PHP scripts may not be executed if they exceed the 755 permission and should generally be set to 644.
2. PHP scripts may not be executed if they are in directories that exceed the 755 permission. Directories should be set to 755 with some exceptions.
3. You can not use ForceType/DefaultType or AddType directives in your .htaccess. Instead you should use AddHandler instead of AddType and SetHandler insted of ForceType/DefaultType."
hope this helps someone
