May be some of you had this issue and could help me, as it is now an emergency for me (my trial period is over today, and I'm fighting for more than 24 hours to make it work) - I have purchase the pro version - I have followed at first the FAQ : upload the full package, overwrites previous file (I made a backup, happily), run the fixlicence.php - OK, I thouught it will work, well no : of course I forgot to run the setup.php - Setup.php told me to remove config.inc.php . I did - I changed permissions to what is needed of course (data to 777) - Once setup done. I accessed my amember area. No problem, but in fact customers can't subscribe, and I can't make any changes. It says "it can't access the .htpassword, or it can't write in this file" - I came back to previous version, but got the same problem. I had to make all the files inside the data folder to 777. Now it's working, but I'm not sure if it's good for obvious security reasons. Well, I should have bought it one month ago, as it's a real pain now. Of course install is offered, but I don't have time
Unfortunately, your server settings does not allow PHP scripts to write into files with other permissions. I hope they do something to prevent PHP scripts of other customers write into YOUR files. Ask them this question. P.S. One note - for FILES set permissions to 666.
