Summary: Wrong error message with .htaccess

Initial Comment:
I use s9y 1.0-beta2

I copied the folder from an existing installation to
make a new blog and uploaded the folder. The installer
came up and i entered my stuff. But then he could not
write .htaccess and wrote that i must chmod 777 the
main directory. Which I did, but still it could not write.

After some trying around, i found that i already had a
.htaccess from the old installation, which was not
writeable by the webserver. chmod 666 .htaccess fixed this.

This is really just the wrong error message, but it
could confuse people...

Sadly we cannot do much about it when files are not copied
with the right permissions. The installer even told you it
could not write to .htaccess, so in which regard could we
make this better? :)

Best regards,
Garvin
