I have a persistent folder that is rightable (once on the server) that I can access via sftp
it is not accsesable via url

I have a mysql credentials that are accseped during install but can't be finished because of no right accsess

A: 

So you're trying to install SilverStripe on sourceforge? Well, okay.

I guess you need to check that the MySQL user you're using has write access to the database. Also, that you got the database name right in the installation process: if you didn't, the installer will try to create that database, and if you don't have the necessary permission (usually the case on shared hosting setups), you'll get an error complaining about the CREATE DATABASE statement.
