Do you have root access? if so try the following on the commandline

su (command to go to root, type your root password)

After that go to the directory where the installation of typo3 resides.

then type:

chmod -Rf 777 *

This turns all directory's to 777 you can chnage owner with

chown --help


Hope this helps a bit.
