Is this the wrong place to ask? I've done these installations
before without any hickups,, could it be a problem with the
PHP or Mysql versions? Anyway,, a tip or two to steer me in
the right direction would be great. My PHP version is 4.4.9
Mysql is 5.0.67

Thanks,

I tried another option,, upgrading the current installation 2.4.6
to 3.3.1 rather than starting from scratch,, I got the same result.

It's just as bothersome getting no support from the support forum.

Well, that looks like a permission problem. Make sure the _config.php file has the permissions 666. The conf directory needs -- in your case -- at least the read and execute permissions, e. g. 755 or 775 to allow write access for the user only or the user and the group, respectively. Note that these permissions may be insecure, depending on your system setup...
