I found instructions to:

Check your tmp and logs folder paths inside the main configuration.php file
and make sure those folders are world writeable, 777 should work…

And I changed the permissions of those two folders. Unfortunately, now when
I load the admin page I am told:

Warning

Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.

But I just got done creating it for sure!
