Description
In Step 2, the installer reported:
Error: /cache is not writable
Error: /upload is not writable
But these dirs were not even created. I had to create them manually and give the permission 777 on a shared account.
The error message should say that these directories might need to be created manually.
I closed that issue because it is a duplicate to http://www.projectpier.org/node/96. I added a comment there to improve the error message.
This might be because the 0.8.0-dev version was zipped with a program that doesn't include empty folders.

Roland is right, it's because I failed to include empty directories in the 0.8_dev zip file. The next dev version will correct the missing directories. However, the warning messages will not be fixed until after 0.8 is released (I actually hope 0.9 will just create the directories if they are missing - if it has permission).
