Chuck, sorry but I beg to differ with you. I went to the instructions I was pointed to in the email and the only information on CHMOD is pasted below:

Now create a directory on your web server for PhotoPost Classifieds. The directory needs to be accessible via the web. Using an FTP program, upload PhotoPost Classifieds directories and files from your local machine to your web server. The directory structure on your web server should be as follows:

pp-classifieds
images (chmod 755)
uploads (chmod 777)
help (chmod 755)
forums (chmod 755)
languages (chmod 755)
stylesheets (chmod 755)
templates (chmod 777)
1 (chmod 777)
2 (chmod 777)
777)

All permissions for .php and .sql files should be set to chmod 644. <------<<<

The line above tells you to set the file to 644 and it was already by default but I got errors until I changed it to 666 (777 would work also). I let my PC search your document for any instance of config-inc.php and there is only one - in Step 5 where it says to check the config-inc.php file if you have errors during the database setup. I didn't see any mention in the entire document to set config-inc.php to (chmod 777).

I wouldn't bring this to your attention except we had the same problem when we installed some of your other products over 4 months ago. It would be nice if someone would take the time to change the Installation Guide. It could save you a lot of future support messages. (I think there should also be a mention that the Photo Post $pp_db_prefix is not the same prefix that MySQL requests when it is setup, but maybe I'm the only one dumb enough to confuse the two.)

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE ASSISTANCE
