1.2.3 Upgrade write permissions reporting problem and install version

[tosd]

I am still struggling to achieve my first upgrade from 1.1.0.5 to 1.2.3. No luck so far - it just seems to get stuck on Step 3 every time. A couple of things I have noticed though:

1. The install screen header says Prestashop 1.2.2 Updater - is there any chance the wrong install package has shipped with 1.2.3?

2. Even though I have set the write permissions (twice) for the /img folder to 777 recursively, Step 3 still reports that they are not correct.

I would be very grateful for any help at all. It is starting to concern me that an upgrade of system files should represent such a challenge.

I have exactly the same problem. I am in the process of upgrading to the latest version and despite changing the file permissions to 777 using ftp client, step 3 still shows images, modules and translations as incorrect with a negative sign. I have actually checked every file to ensure that they are set to 777.

I am really getting frustrated with Prestashop, the last installation worked fine for a while and then died with parse errors, so that when I went into the backend and selected the module tab, every module had a parse error message.

I think I am just going to go back to gold old zen cart, it may be old hat but is has been running three of my sites for over 2 years with no problems.

Of course it could be something by server provider has changed.

Any help would be welcomed.
