Well installing on a subdomain is the same as installing on a non subdomain (whatever the term is).

Now on to your error, it is exactly as it says. Your root directory is not writable. I don't know what software you use like FTP program but you need to change the chmod settings atleast during intial installation to maybe something like 775.

I think it mainly just needs to be config.php that needs to be writable since it writes in your db connection parameter for mysql and your cron code

i use filezilla as it reccomended to use and what if i change all folders and files to 777 will that work

[KyleMassacre]

You could do that but its not reccomended that you make all your files writable but if you do during installation then make sure you change them back after words

The "root" folder where you are placing the files/folders its the one that needs the permissions changed, not the other way around...

[sniko]

Via SSH;

chmod 777 <game_folder/>

Change <game_folder/> to the directory where you placed your files; probably public_html.

Instead of transferring your files with a FTP, don't you just have your mccodes files in a zip file? If so, upload to -> public_html -> extract files -> All the files should now be in a folder called "Upload" -> open that up -> highlight all the files and copy them to your public_html root -> run installer.

Done...

Game folder writable Failed

Probably the host?

You've had the instructions to your problem given very cleary. if you cannot follow them, i would reconsider if running a game is the right thing for you to be doing with the knowledge you currently have.

Edit:

after a quick (very quick) google search, i came across these instructions for you exact problem.

Try a different server?

[Newbie]

Picture is a bit crap but open up your cpanel and look for perm it should have numbers next to it like 755

if you have your game in a folder make sure the folder is writable 755
