I cannot install OJS

I am a novice at this but I followed all of the steps verbatim and I am now stuck on the install page that says “Errors occurred during installation
The directory specified for uploaded files does not exist or is not writable.”

The file is writable and it is there I even tried creating multiple new files and copied their path to the form instead (after I edited the security to make it writeable) and I got the same message. I am the administrator and I tried using forward slashes and back slashes in the file path. What am I missing??

Thanks in advance!

Application Version - e.g., OJS 3.1.2:

The directory specified for uploaded files does not exist or is not writable

Can't installation because "Directory specified for uploaded files does not exist or is not writable"

i already crated the directory name is “files” and set file permission 0777 for writable but can’t installation because system display message is “Errors occurred during installation: The directory specified for uploaded files does not exist or is not writable.” I don’t understand. This is Directory for uploads = /home/www/virtual/mydomail.com/files and already set file permission is 0777 for writable.
