 * Hi!
    I have downloaded the Zingiri Forum and try to install it. When I click 
   the “install” button at the configuration page, it gave me “Cannot create temporary
   file”. I check the “readme.txt” file and looks like it will try to create a “/
   zingiri-forum/cache” directory and may write something in there. So, I manually
   created the directory. However, it needs me to assign chmod 777 to that directory
   and I am currently using a Windows IIS server.
 * May I know how can I perform the chmod777? Perform to which directory? On which
   user name inside the security tab of that directory?
 * Please kindly help.
    Thanks Regards
