Installation just cycles through first three steps

Try adding &upgrade=0 to the end of that URL.

Year! That did it! I'm at step 4 of the installation process!

Thank's a million!!!

Man, that's frustrating! Now it doesn't go from step 4 (phpBB) to 5 (database). :-( and adding "&use_phpbb=0" does not help either...

What's the new URL before it croaks?


(BTW, I did a number of fixes for this for v1.3.8 last month, but the full package isn't ready for release yet. I'll use your experience as a review of the code to help prevent this rare scenario from repeating in the future.)

Hmmm ... that should be fine.

I think I'll need to look at it in more specific detail. Can you PM me with the actual URL so I can take a look directly?

Sorry, I can't do that. My client won't allow it.

Is there any other way to solve this problem?

Yes. Run it on a different host.

Your current host appears to be blocking something required, which most other hosts don't block.

Would also be good to know how the files were installed/uploaded.

A good FTP program will tell you what file uploads failed which is not an uncommon thing. Being as there are approx. 1,700 files and things can go wrong for a variety of reasons, it could be one or more files did not get uploaded.

Unfortunately that is not an option.

I uploaded the entire ZIP archive and unzipped it on the server (using SSH shell access).
