I tried to install 1.3.7sr1 and I got this error message:Warning: fopen("/home/www/htdocs/geeklog/logs/error.log", "a"
- Permission denied in /home/www/htdocs/geeklog/public_html/lib-common.php on line 1440When I tried to log out, it flashed the following message out as well.Warning: fopen("/home/www/htdocs/geeklog/logs/access.log", "a"

The obvious comment would be Please read the installation instructions carefully. It's all explained there ...

You are probably on a shared hosting account. You will need to chmod the log files to 777.

Thank you. As for the guy who said to read the instructions... yeah, it was REALLY obvious there.

I have the same error. I've changed the chmod from 755 - 775 to 777. The error still happens. If you find the answer, please let me know.
