Hi All...
Kudos for a great looking and acting forum. Like it enough to try it!
Trying to set this thing up on an NT4/IIS4 box and getting some undefined variable errors in install.php when viewed in-browser via http. I press on an enter data anyway, but by the time I get to step 3 I'm getting a bunch of "cannot create file" errors, which I'm guessing is tied to the undefined variable problem. All of these undefined var's are path related, and I've no idea how to fix it for an NT box (could do it in any Linux in a snap, but such is not available at this client). I've set the server's doc root in php.ini to, well, the server's wwwroot folder (same folder IIS itself considers "root"), and am using full paths, not relative.
Anybody have any thoughts? Specific undefined vars in install.php are: "section", "DOCUMENT_ROOT", "WWW_ROOT" and "FORUM_WWW_ROOT".

Question? Which release did you try? 1.1.1? 1.1.1 is not easy to install on windows, if you are interested in a windows' install you should try the latest development release dev-20020215 also available on the download page.

read the rest of the original post - all of the undefined variables are listed, near the end.
PHP ver = 4.1.0
FUD ver = both 1.1.1 and latest devel versions
MySQL ver = 3.23.39
entire installation of php/mysql is right about a month old, latest stable installers downloaded at that time.
recieving exact same undefined variable errors using both FUD 1.1.1 and latest devel release.
Exact error messages are:
Warning: Undefined variable: section in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\install.php on line 138
Warning: Undefined index: DOCUMENT_ROOT in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\install.php on line 404
Installation Path Step 1 of 5
Please enter the full path to the directory where the uncompressed files of the forum are located. ex. /home/forum/forum_install/
Warning: Undefined variable: INSTALL_PATH in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\install.php on line 408
[install path form/table here]
Warning: Undefined variable: WWW_ROOT in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\install.php on line 471
Warning: Undefined variable: FORUM_WWW_ROOT in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\install.php on line 471

I've just added error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); to our forum so that should not be a problem in the future.
However, I don't think this is the problem here.
I've just pulled up an IIS 4.0 phpinfo(). And the DOCUMENT_ROOT, which apache exports to php does not seem to be there...
I am looking at other alternatives right now...
P.S. jkrische2 would it be possible to see the output of phpinfo() on your system?

I've added a little hack to the install script to handle the missing DOCUMENT_ROOT variable. Please try the attached install.php a shot.

When you try to re-install the forum, be sure the use the install script I've attached in the previous message.
P.S. i've looked at the phpinfo, and indeed IIS does not seem to export the DOCUMENT_ROOT variable, hopefuly the hack I've added in the attached install script will solve this.

Will do!
Already downloaded it and am remoting it up to the client's server as I type this. Should have at least some results here in about 15 minutes.

Hey Gang...
Thanks again! snapshot appears to be working. Am up to step 3 without a single error, lotsa new folders & files just created... ok, well, I had some bad NTFS perms, but got that solved. Getting mysql prepped now, expect a normal install at this point. Will post final outcome here and, when this FUD forum becomes publically available, the address of my copy of FUD in the list in the appropriate section of this site!

Oops, spoke too soon...
now getting a mysql error. This is under devel release plus your install sanpshot:
Failed to import default data (INSERT INTO fud_forum VALUES (1,1,'TestForum',NULL,'N',NULL,'Y','N','N','N','Y','N','N',NULL,'ML',0,0,0, 0,1,'N','Y','Y','Y',1024,1,'Y',NULL)) into table def_forum, SQL Reason: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
Ok, there's a missing value or values - but which one(s)?

Give me a moment, I'll prep a fix. I beleive we modified the fud_forum table structure and this query doesn't correspond anymore.

The problem is the result of a "bad" def_forum.sql file, which is located in your forum_install/install_data/sql/ directory. Replace that file with the one attached to this message and resume the install.
This should fix the query failure.

Ok, progress! This is going nicely.
New batch of errors now. Sorry to be such a pain in the rear, but at least we're getting bugs worked out, eh? Steps 4 & 5 completed, directories reset to my usual restrictive NTFS perms, install.php moved to a non-web-accessible folder & renamed just to be safe. BUT...
on opening index.php for the first time, I get this:
Warning: Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\include\GLOBALS.php on line 23
Warning: Undefined variable: db_str in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\include\cookies.inc on line 82

Then the normal forum list table & such appear. Stupid newbie php.ini problem or another bug to kill?

Could you give me a url to the forum please, I want to see those errors for myself maybe gather more info.
This is our 1st IIS install, so I suspect it is likely the fault of the forum rather then your setup.

Well, after looking at your phpinfo once more I found the reason for this problem. You'll have to excuse me when I say that MS are fscking morons!!
IIS does not seem to have a REQUEST_URI variable or ANY other variable that contains the parameters passed via get.
I will once again need to add a hack, which will re-create the REQUEST_URI variable for people who lack it, the forum relies on that variable in a number of places...
Once, I make it, i'll post it in this thread.

The next step actually will require you to edit 1 line in you GLOBALS.php file found in your include directory for the forum.
Change the line which now says:
if ( strstr($GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['REQUEST_URI'], 'GLOBALS.php') ) {
To say:
if ( strstr($GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['SCRIPT_NAME'], 'GLOBALS.php') ) {

prottoss, you're beautiful!
Just did the globals.php change and refreshed. Could add categories & forums at will using admin panel. Will test it further on Monday and report in, though I see no reason at this point that everything shouldn't be working right now, if it's setting & using cookies correctly and accessing mysql correctly, which apparently it is since I can create a new forum & all.
Thanks again!

There appears to be a problem with file attachments.
I've attached tried to attach a file to my message, however due to an error that file was not saved it would seem.
Could you please tell me what do you have inside your FILE_STORE variable of GLOBALS.php?

Looks like there were some bad slashes in there, here is what I have now (& please retry an attachment):
$INCLUDE = "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\include\";
$WWW_ROOT = "http://forums.sysop.com/";
$ERROR_PATH = "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\errors\";
$MSG_STORE_DIR = "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\messages\";
$TMP = "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\tmp\";
$FILE_STORE = "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\files\";

I see the problem...
In windows when using php you MUST enter paths like this:
D:\\mypath\\fdsfa\\fsadfsadf\etc\\
Otherwise the path will not be parsed correctly 
Everywhere you have \ in the path you need to change it to \\ otherwise you'll have problems. Because \ is normally an escape character, by using \\ you make it escape itself and thus use \ when it actually needs to use the path.

OK, slashes changed in that whole section of path-related variables, so that is now looks like this:
$INCLUDE = "D:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\forums_HOTC_com\\include/";
$WWW_ROOT = "http://forums.sysop.com/";
$ERROR_PATH = "D:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\forums_HOTC_com\\errors/";
$MSG_STORE_DIR = "D:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\forums_HOTC_com\\messages/";
$TMP = "D:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\forums_HOTC_com\\tmp/";
$FILE_STORE = "D:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\forums_HOTC_com\\files/";

Hrm... problem is still there, the file is not getting saved. I know this because when I go to edit the message I get the following error:
Warning: stat failed for D:Inetpubwwwrootforums_HOTC_comfiles/4.atch (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums_HOTC_com\post.php on line 167
Could you please check if there are any files inside the: D:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\forums_HOTC_com\\files/ directory and if there are any could you show me the directory listing please.

Heh, I think I may have found the problem.
As a test for this problem could please you do run the following MySQL query and paste it's output here.
