Can not install OP, stop at step #2

Hi,
I am trying to install OP 2.0. It stops at

Requirements problem
The following errors must be resolved before you can continue the installation process:

* The OpenPublish installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process.
     1. Copy the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file to ./sites/default/settings.php.
     2. Change file permissions so that it is writable by the web server. If you are unsure how to grant file permissions, please consult the on-line handbook.
  More details about installing Drupal are available in INSTALL.txt.
* The directory sites/default/files does not exist. An automated attempt to create this directory failed, possibly due to a permissions problem. To proceed with the installation, either create the directory and modify its permissions manually, or ensure that the installer has the permissions to create it automatically. For more information, please see INSTALL.txt or the on-line handbook.

I chmod the settings.php file to 777. And created the files folder, chown www-data:www-data, chmod 777

The server is a new Debian lenny installed last week with Apache2, PHP5, Mysql 5.0

I should mention that I installed Drupal6 first before I found OP. Then uninstalled Drupal and got stuck installing OP.

Thanks,

you should chmod settings.php

you should chmod settings.php to 666 (rw all)
also indeed chmod 777 for sites/default/files (rwx all)

if you are using the same database, you should empty it first!
