Having installed a new forum on a new site I am getting the following error message:

Cannot write to /Prefs, please check your Settings.pl file and try again.

Have checked all the CHMODS and deleted and re-installed to no avail, and using a server that I already run one forum on. Any suggestions?

Thanks
