I have fud forum for a year now and we have moved to dedicated servers.
When I install the v2.7.7 on this new server it says Invalid DB Type. on the 2 step.

When I see the source code it says the following:
<input type="hidden" name="DBTYPE" value="">Using 


I have mysql up and running.
I did a check on extension_loaded('mysql') it returns 1.

I have PHP Version 5.2.5
MySQL Support enabled
Client API version 5.0.22
MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE external
MYSQL_SOCKET /tmp/mysql.sock

OS: FreeBSD 6.x
Apache 1.3.39


How do I fix this problem?

Can you please add var_dump($types, $module_status); on line 1070 of the installer and try to run it.

This is what I got in the source code:

Can you also do
var_dump(current($types));

please. It seems like the current() function is misbehaving on your system.

Can you see reset($types) before the var_dump() line?

No, but after adding the reset($types); line, the installation went fine.
