[Solved] Setup permission errors

So I’ve just found your project and thought I’d give it a try. EDIT: Using version 1.4.0
Uploaded all files to a subdirectory (/invoicing/).
Edited .htaccess to rewrite to /invoicing/
Navigate to mysite.com/invoicing/setup
Notice this error:

Prerequisites

Welcome to InvoicePlane! Any issue listed below must be resolved before the installation can continue.

PHP appears to meet the installation requirement
A valid timezone is configured.
./uploads is not writable
./uploads/temp is not writable
./uploads/archive is not writable
./uploads/customer_files is not writable
./application/config/database.php is not writable
./application/helpers/mpdf/tmp is not writable
./application/logs is not writable

chmod -R 777 uploads
refresh /invoicing/setup
get same error message
wonder if setup is actual using directory /invoicing/?

Where have I gone wrong?

EDIT: OK not sure what happened (maybe browser caching?) but after chmoding both ./application and ./upload and a couple refreshes with my browser I’ve got the green continue button. Will update if it hangs up somewhere.
