Hi I am trying to install this onto my server that uses centos7. I have downloaded, chmod 777 and ftp'ed the folder onto my server, then proceeded to error, everything is for now 777 permission in the getsimple folder. Now, when I proceed to install I get the error:
Unable to continue: Unable to write the configuration file. CHMOD 755 or 777 the /data, /backups folders & sub-folders and retry.
and Folder Permissions Error - Not Writable
everything else is green and OK.
Why is this showing permission issues when everything is 777?

Did you check error logs?
could be that chmod is not allowed, or that safemode or some other php user not matching file ownership problem.
chown ?

Sorry shawn_a, I am only attempting to install and have no error log folder, and the folder is currently under my users ownership.
