I saw a post that had a similar problem that I’m currently having: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/207435/
I still have a permissions error when i go to install EE2. Yet, all the folders/files have the appropriate permissions.
And my EE_wizard said this:
PHP Version 5.1.6 or greater required Yes
MySQL (Version 4.1+) support in PHP required Yes
URL Segment Support suggested No
CAPTCHAs feature and watermarking in Image Gallery suggested Yes
Ability to send Pings suggested Yes
Image Thumbnailing using GD, GD2, Imagemagick or NetPBM suggested Yes
GIF Image Resizing Using GD (or GD 2) optional Yes
JPEG Image Resizing Using GD (or GD 2) optional Yes
PNG Image Resizing Using GD (or GD 2) optional Yes
Built in Spellchecker optional Yes
thanks!
