+---- Thread: [MyBB] Installation Error (/showthread.php?tid=5160756)
Installation Error - Union - Feb 6, 2016
For some reason, The installer is saying that the /cache directory and the /inc/config.php file isn't writeable but I know I've did everything write because the other directories I chmod'd is writeable and working as you see in the images.
I have deleted everything and started again and still the same issue.
Any help?

Try checking if your config file is corrupt in some way. This may cause the issue. and try to chmod from your normal file manager in your cpanel sometimes the changes in the ftp client do not come through properly.

I don't use a cpanel, I use Nginx as a reverse proxy and using Apache for dynamic content, I also went to SSH/Putty and did this.
Also the config file is empty in the official download from mybb. so i doubt its corrupt.

This happened to me before.
Delete the config.php and make a new one.
Try and reinstall it then -> if it doesn't work still, download the file and chmod it from there if possible.
If that failed, PM me, I'll chmod one for you that I know works from my linux host

I did the deleting of config.php and making a new one numerous times.
I restalled it quite a few times aswell and used SSH to Chmod.
I'll pm you about the linux host one.

Are you using the latest MyBB 1.8.6 files?

Haha I just remembered, filezilla doesn't always write the chmod option.
Go to your host cpanel look for file manager, right click that file/folder and look for chmod.
It just hit me when I looked at your pictures that filezilla fucks up on the chmod 99% of the time

This. Unless you imported the MyBB files via Filezilla, it won't allow you to write the correct permissions. All MyBB files can be attained by their Github.

Going to close this thread, I got it fixed. I decided to just downgrade CentOS to 6.6 and use Nginx as a reverse proxy with SSL and use Apache for Dynamic content, Everything is working out thus far, Thanks everyone for the attempts at helping!
