Thanks for the reply.

Turns out my issue was not a permissions issue. It was a odd timeout issue.

My package file was a little over 300mb and thats too big I guess. I have a rather large site, 300+pages, 2000+ product images.

I made a new package that excluded the some of the directories where the bulk of the size was and it brought the package size down to about 150mb.

I ran the installer and uploaded those directories that I excluded manually, and it was fine.

It must have been some weird issue that only effected the root directory? Not totally sure but reducing the package size worked for me. Maybe this will help some one else.

Perfect – and thank you for the quick reply.

I installed a plugin that would allow me to edit excerpts on pages (not just posts) and everything works perfect.
