Please post the exact message. Chance are you need to chmod a subdirectory. The error message should tell you which one.

it was the root:
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/.ekg/rambler/therambler.info/
and reload this page.

It's possible there is already a .htaccess file in that directory which apache doesn't have permission to modify. It may not be showing up in your FTP client--if need be, try another (IIRC, WS FTP is supposed to be good)
