Installation chmod problem

[burp]

I just re-installed Serendipity and I get the following message:

To check your local webserver installation, serendipity needs to be able to write the file ".htaccess". This was not possible because of permission errors. Please adjust the permissions like this:
chmod go+rwx /home/burp/public_html/text/
and reload this page.

Text is the folder where I uploaded Serendipity. I chmodded that folder to 777 but nothing happened, I get same message. What did I do wrong?

Please try latest CVS snapshot, I changed some things there today. Are you using shared installation?
