The error is "The Drupal installer requires write permissions to ./sites/default/settings.php during the installation process."

Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can install without it, by correctly specifying your db username and password
Or you can use an ftp client and chmod 777 settings.php
or you can ssh in with putty.

Also how do you do the CHMOD? Do you just change the name in FTP.

DO NOT use the 6.0 beta version for production. It is for testing only.
