the error message "Allowed to create new files and folders" means you allowed to do so. but you should not.

You give too much permission for creating new files and folders, it is a security whole.
You should remove the permissions.

I think following setting should works
- folders 755 permission
- files 644 permission.

Thanks for replay, it might be that i gave a lot of permission and its cause a security issue. i solve the issue by doing the following:

there was 1 function test ( chmod ) which was preventing the installation to be complete. in the install/xm/checkConfig


// Functions list to test with 'test_system'
$funcs = array('fopen', 'fclose', 'fread', 'fwrite', 'rename', 'file_exists', 'unlink', 'rmdir', 'mkdir', 'getcwd', 'chdir', 'chmod');

i do a littile changes to the file to skip check the "chmod" and its went fine , i don`t know what is the impact for this ( please if you know tell me )

// Functions list to test with 'test_system'
$funcs = array('fopen', 'fclose', 'fread', 'fwrite', 'rename', 'file_exists', 'unlink', 'rmdir', 'mkdir', 'getcwd', 'chdir');//, 'chmod');
