Try this from shell in the root directory of your installation;

Applied chmod-R 777 var / more not corrected.

What about the entire Magento directory:

Replace magento with the directory name where it’s installed.

Hello,
I’m having the same probleme:
Tried to change back the name folder from “boutique” to “magenta” but does not solve the problem.
Could someone point me in the wright direction?

Try this from shell in your Magento directory.

Ok, reconsidered the information about chmod that was correct on the VAR folder.
I simply modifies all the chmod INSIDE the folder VAR to 777 and installed with all the default information (english, Dollars)
modified the folder name back to “boutique”
IT IS NOW INSTALLED PROPERLY
Thank you for your help!

Glad to hear you’ve gotten Magento working.

Yes, all the folders/files under var directory must write permissions for the web server.  The ‘-R’ flag tells chmod to apply the mode change recursively. 

If you are not doing this by shell it may be necessary to chmod the directories individually if your FTP program does not support recursive permission mode changes.

I hope you enjoy Magento as much as we have!

VERY helpful info! I thought I had set it to 777 -R but on closer inspection it was 757
