File Permissions
I'm having trouble with my web server. When i try to install exponent, it says that stuff 'isn't writable', yet i have the folders set to 757.
What's going wrong and what can i do?

Not sure without more info, but whenever I install stuff, I change it to 777, then just change it back to the most restrictive possible while still letting the program do its thing.
757 does mean that its not group writable. That's the only permission left off, so maybe that's how the installation is trying to access it.

Exponent requires that several permissions be set correctly in order to operate. Sanity checks are being run right now to ensure that the web server directory you wish to install Exponent in is suitable.
<strong>The following errors were encountered:</strong>
Configuration file (conf/config.php) is not writable.
The view compilation directory (modules/addressbookmodule/views_c) for addressbookmodule is not writable by the web server
The view compilation directory (modules/administrationmodule/views_c) for administrationmodule is not writable by the web server

The view compilation directory (themes/portaltheme/modules/textmodule/views_c) is not writable
<strong>Note:</strong> For permission errors (files or directories that are not writable / not readable) it is usually best to make sure that the Exponent files were uncompressed with options (-xzvpf) to preserve file permissions.
After you have corrected the above errors, click <a href="http://www.christyrush.co.uk/portal/install/install.php?page=sanity" class="bb-url">here</a> to run these environment checks again.
And I'm pretty sure everything's 777
