This is your problem...

The /admin/data/ directory needs to be set to 777 (rwxrwxrwx). The files, like validate.db needs to be set to 666 (rw-rw-rw-).

Well...the Error message indicates that it is a permission problem with validate.db, which I have provided all the suggestions I have to fix it.

Best of luck!

Sounds like you have a path defined incorrectly, or didn't upload the file in the proper place
