Couldn't create cache file & empty settings folders

Hello,

quite a long time i tried to reinstall ez publish again and again, and find out where is the problem, but I am lost, so I am trying to get help via this forum.

Problems are:
After installation are folders settings/siteaccess/plain and settings/siteaccess/plain_admin empty. I think that this is the reason, why I am always throwen on admin page, even when I try to display user page.

Second problems is that although permissions are ok, ez publish is not able to create a cache files (debug mode: Couldn't create cache file 'var/cache/ini/bla...bla.php', perhaps wrong permissions)

Do you think first page of installation? Yes, I got an message about wrong permissions, so I set them to 770, I think that this could be enough. After that the message did not appear. Do you think that I would try to set permissions to 777?

What do you think about second problem - system is not able to write cache files, although the permissions for var/cache are set to 777 (have a look here: http://www.petiar.sk/ez/index.php/petiar)

Edit: pls, do not chceck mentioned address, I am trying to re-install, so there is nothing to see.

Edit2: I tried to re-install. I set permissions to 777 for all files and folders under settings folder. I choose plain site type and all additional functionality. How is it possible, that folders /settings/siteaccess/plain and plain_admin are empty???
You can have a look here: http://ez.petiar.sk/index.php/plain
I put correct login info during installation, this behaviour is caused, I thing, right because mentioned folders are empty! And I do not know why.
I could copy there neded files, according documentation. But then the second problem still remain - not possible to write cache files.

Thank you a lot for support and great system.
Best regards,
Petiar
