I believe that the chmod instructions were ONLY for some folder (or folders) , not for the files inside the folders.

There is no need for specific user name or password requirement for the database. You can use whatever you want (within the limits that CP has, which is that the username can be up to 7, if i recall well, caracters)

When installing FMP you wil be asked to provide Database name, username, password.
