Well if you keep struggling, sometimes it's easier for me to see what's going on with the server directly and if something might need to be set or configured a certain way. Maybe permissions or ownership needs to be changed. If you feel conformable with giving me a login you can email it to me jfox015 at gmail dot com and I can investigate. Corsairs gave me temporary access to his PEBA site and I fixed an issue he had with the 1.0.2 upgrade in about 5 minutes. Then you can just reset your passwords after I'm done. Up to you. If you get stuck, I'm happy to try and help take a look. Again, it might help me document what might need to happen to get the installer to say writable for others with this issue as well.
