I've uploaded all the files to my ftp site, and changed includes/configure.php permissions to 644. I goto my website/zc_install, click continue, select I have read and agree, click continue, and it tells me "store configure.php is not writeable"

I check the file permissions, and they are changed back to 444. I change them back to 644, and click "Re-Check" at the bottom of the page, and the file permissions instantly change back to 444. I've tried changing them to 666, and 777, but the second I click recheck, the permissions get changed back to 444.

I called my webhost, and they said something in the upgrade script is changing the permissions. Of course they're point the finger the other way.

Also, I've deleted the entire zc_install directory and reuploaded hoping something went wrong during the ftp upload, but that didn't work.

Anybody encounter this before?
