Webserver write access

[Colin Hutchinson]

hi all

I've downloaded the latest version of openchat installed on apache with the most up to date php/mysql

when I go through the install and go to domain.com/openchat/test.php I get only the one red with everything else green, the red one says:

Webserver write access in /home/students/hutchic/public_html/phpopenchat/include/templates/openchat/images/icons/chatter:  to the left of the red box and

Each chatter has the possibility to upload a private icon, which he can use within the chat. So, the webserver needs write access to this directory to store private images.
to the right of the red box, I gave this directory write access chmod 777 but it still didn't fix it please help me

If PHP has decided that filename specifies a local file, then it will try to open a stream on that file. The file must be accessible to PHP, so you need to ensure that the file access permissions allow this access (already done). BUT if you have enabled safe mode, or open_basedir further restrictions may apply.
So check safe_mode and open_basedir within config.inc.php
