Can't install Arrowchat

I am having problems installing the Arrowchat demo

I did get it installed at first, but i changed my Wordpress database password which took down the actual site - the arrowchat worked but the site didn't

So i managed to work out how to change the wp-config file to the new password which fixed the site but broke arrowchat as it had been configured on the old database password

I deleted arrowchat and the tables for it in the mysqladmin and reinstalled the files

Now when i go to install it i just keep getting the error -

'The includes/config.php file does not exist. We recommend installing ArrowChat again making sure to CHMOD all necessary files/folders to 777 regardless of what the installer tells you. If you still have problems, please contact support at http://www.arrowchat.com/support/.'

I've deleted the files again and tried a fresh install a few times but just keep getting the same error

I have put the files i think that need to be 777 to that but still no joy

Any help would be appreciated.

Jason

don't worry - fixed it after a lot of googling

just in case someone else has the same trouble - the install won't work if you change the permissions to 777 - it has to be 755 or lower for them to work and for the config folder to be seen
