Hello everybody,

yesterday I tried to setup drupal on my new webspace (on ymy old one, everything worked flawlessly). My current host supports the latest mysql and php(5).

The installation itself was quite smooth, and the administration-area seems to work wtihout any problems, except for this one :

I am able to choose a different theme, however if I trie to "configure" it using the corresponding link, I always end up getting the same error - and changes I make to the theme-settings are hence not saved:

warning: fopen(files/.htaccess) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/web61/html/Drupal/includes/file.inc on line 117.

Security warning: Couldn't write .htaccess file. Please create a .htaccess file in your files directory which contains the following lines:
      SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
      Options None
      Options +FollowSymLinks

Remark on first error :
File Permissions for : file.inc = 664

Remore on second error
File Permissions for : .htaccess = 777

".htaccess" resides in the folder named 'files', which is on the same level as the other drupal-folders such as : 'scripts' 'sites' etc....

Anyone's got an idea what could be the problem ? I tried mesing around with file permissions and also checked the content of file.inc at the specified line - but still I dont have any idea what's actually causing that error :-( .

Any helping hint is appreciated,

Best Regards,
Nicolai
