I'm trying to install phpbb2 on my system and see how it works. I downloaded and unpack it. I created a mysql database with proper user rights. The problem is; when I run the index.php or/install/install.php file and enter the information about the server and everything, nothing happens. I mean when I hit the submit button, I get the same blank form. It's supposd to goto step 2 but that's not happening.
Since I'm trying to install it on localhost, is this a problem? Do I have to upload it to a remote server? Can't I just install it in my system and see how it works?
I use Apache 2, php 4, mysql 4.x Everything works smooth.
I can't find a logical explanation why.
thank you all.
I don't know. In the beginning I thought it could've been cookie restrictions in my browser but it wasn't not. The setup form blanks out and configuration page hangs on step2. I checked Apache error log, it says 'File is being used by another process'. I don't know what process and file it's talking about.
Has anyone tried to install phpbb2 on their own computer or it's just me?
I've been running it for months.. in order to access the error log, you may need to shutdown apache.. Although I've never had a problem opening the file while the server is running.. hmmm...
I know. Just copy/paste file is much easier to shut it down the server. However I don't have a problem with that. My problem is setting up phpbb. I hope you got what I'm trying to say. Cannot install it because I don't see any error mesage. I feel like I'm the only one who has this problem ever.
Yeah, I just realized.
I thought I had php4 , apparently it was PHP5. I found out after asking the same question somewhere else. Duh..
anyways, problem solved and hope this will help anyone who has the same problem.
Thanks.
