Hi there,
I am trying to install the latest version and have ran into a problem. I have read other posts relating to this, but they didn't help me.
On page 2 of install, there is no option to select the database type. It doesn't have a drop-down box, the value is automatically filled in as "Using". After filling in the rest of the info on the form and continuing, I get the message "Invalid DB Type".
I tried to open the install.php file in Ultra Edit, but got only heiroglyphics (ASCII ???). I am not very computer literate, so I don't know what to do from here.
Is there another install file that I can download from somewhere?
I am trying to install on a Linux Server with PHP 5+ and SQL 4+.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Di

Are you using mysql or mysqli extension? FUDforum supports only mysql or pdo_mysql extensions.

I had the above problem regarding database type.
I was trying to install version 2.7.7 (also tried 2.7.6, same result).
I have php v5.2.5 with mysql (not mysqli) extension and apache v2.2.6-r7 under linux.
The first page of the install script says that mysql extension is enabled and extension_loaded('mysql') returns true.
I tried to apply the patch linked from the previous post, but it was rejected by patch. However, I could apply it manually.
With the patch, it selects mysql properly.
