ZENCart configure.php errors

When I first install zencart on my test domain I went to follow instructions and although the email instructions say to ignore the warnings, I have an error the reads....

/includes/configure.php file does not exist more info...

If I click the more info, I get...

The file /includes/configure.php does not exist. You can create this either as a blank file or by renaming /includes/dist-configure.php to configure.php. After creating it, you need to mark it read-write or CHMOD 666 or CHMOD 777 for installation.

however, when I try to rename dist-configure.php to configure.php using the webftp, I get "dist-configure.php could not be renamed to configure.php". I suspect it's a permission problem.

The dist-configure.php is owned by me (rw-r--r--), but the directory /includes is owned by root:root (rwxr-xr-x).

Any suggestions and why did this happen in the first place?
