I am installing zen cart and get to the database screen with no trouble. All of the files are as needed, configure.php is writable, etc. But when I get to the database and try to save it I come up with the
Error encountered while writing /includes/configure.php

I have tried everything... I have even started completely over twice!! I have given permissions to all of the accounts, changed both configure.php files to 777 and I still get the error.

Someone help....I have been working on this for 3 days and am out of things to try.
