Does the server meet the requirements? The error means your asking the server to do something it does not want to allow.

Are you chmodding the correct folders prior to install? Reading the online manual should help. Is this a free host?

Installing SMF

[zartosht]

Server properties is higher than required and my host isn't free. I corectly changed permission of files and folders as the SMF manual. Can this error occure due to changing permissions more than required?

[jerm]

No. Have you tried to contact your host to see if they have issues with PHP on their server?

The first time I tried to install SMF it begon. I canceled the instalation and then start again. but at that time didn't start instalation. What was happened?

[JayBachatero]

This error is most likely due to the host not allowing you to chmod files to 777.  Chmod them to 755.  If not then take a look at Having problems with mod_security?

Contact your host and explain the problem to them.

[zartosht]

But I can change the permissions to 777. Did you mean that this changing is incorrect however it shows 777?

Did you try the mod_security fix?
