Hi I have just attempted to install fudforum on xampp with php5 enabled and the install.php fails with an error in apache. If I switch to PHP4 the install goes fine. any ideas why it has a problem with PHP5 ?

Also can you use this forum with flat files? I have a mate that wants a forum but doesn't have a hosting with database available to him only php.Any suggestions would be great (even a cheaper isp with db support i.e <= £7.95/pm)

Madhead.

What version of PHP (specifically)? FUDforum supports SQLite database, which is pretty much a flag file.

Sounds like a bug in your version of PHP.

SQLite is a flat file database system that comes by default with PHP 5 and higher. You can find more info about it at http://www.sqlite.org

Ok thanks. I have had a look as suggested. So basically in order to use FUDForum with sqlite I need a host with PHP5 is that right?

If so I can switch from the present w2k3 solution running PHP4 to linux and PHP5.

Cheers,
Razz

There is a bug in PHP on win32 that causes a crash a workaround for it was added to CVS. You can get it from here and patch your install.php with it

Thanks, I will have a go at that but I have now ended up using yabb2.1. (still that is perl so maybe I will switch anyway Smile

I have attempted to install fudforum with the latest install.php script complete with patch as described. My isp hosting company is using PHP5.0.3RC1 with sqlite enabled. However when I run the install script it outputs the following :-

FUDforum can utilize either MySQL PosgreSQL or SQLite database to store it's data, unfortunately, your PHP does not have support for either one. Please install or load the appropriate database extension and then re-run the install script.
I find this odd as I can run sqlitemanager without problems. Can u point me to a solution or at least a means of debugging what the problem is? I can post my phpinfo() if needed.

Thanks

The forum uses php's extension_loaded() function to determine what database drivers are loaded. So, it would seem on your install this function does not report correctly the status of the extensions that you have.

I am getting this error when i tried to patch and then ran the install.script.

Archive did not pass checksum test, CORRUPT ARCHIVE!
If you've encountered this error it means that you've:
downloaded a corrupt archive
uploaded the archive in ASCII and not BINARY mode
your FTP Server/Decompression software/Operating System added un-needed cartrige return (' ') characters to the archive, resulting in archive corruption.

You need to use the patch utility, patch -p0 < patch_file_name

should we patch CVS install.php file, or full distributive install.php?, because when I patch install.php for 2.7.4 (with patch utility) I got the same message:

You need to patch the distributed install.php. Get a fresh copy of the file and the patch it, the patch only affects the installer's PHP code and should have no impact on the archive.

Did you download the zip file or the tar.gz or tar.bz2 files? Can you try downloading the tar.gz and/or tag.bz2 files and running them. Also, when you decompress those files compare install.php found within to the one you have to see if the two are the same.

downloaded all:

FUDforum_zl_2-7-5RC1.tar.gz
FUDforum_zl_2-7-5RC1.tar.bz2
FUDforum_zl_2-7-5RC1.zip

FUDforum_2-7-5RC1.tar.gz
FUDforum_2-7-5RC1.tar.bz2
FUDforum_2-7-5RC1.zip

they are identical for each other.
but I have the same problem ('Archive did not pass checksum test').

PS
I repeat, I don't use any FTP program, just download, extract and try to install on local machine

Latest CVS of FUDforum? You built your own install.php using online instructions?
Does your PHP actually crash or some other error occurs?

Yes, I build my own install.php from CVS using the instructions.
I click on "Next" in the first installation step and Apache crashes after a few seconds. According to Windows the culprit is php5ts.dll.

I've just tried FUDforum 2.7.5 (zipped non-zlib archive) on PHP 5.1.4 running as Apache module on Apache 1.3 on Win32 and it was able to pass the first step of the installer without crashing.

And yes, the installer of 2.7.5 is crashing too.
