Could you please show me the output of phpinfo() on your system?

i do not know how to do but i got version 4 or later (looked at the rpm i installed from)

but i know something that might be the problem.
my server is behind i simple router/firewall it forwards connections through port 80 to my server.
Do i need to open anymoe ports?

That may have been a problem although unlikely had the script died after you submitted the 1st step where you've specified the forum paths. However, I see no reason why it would die on the 2nd. Could you make a small php script:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

And show me what it outputs.

Config seems allright, I cannot see anything out of place. Check your Apache's log file right after running the install script see if any apache children segfaulted. I can imagine that being the only reason why the script would die and not give any error or warning messages.

Mysql uses port 3306 by default I believe. You can make FUDforum uses a UNIX domain socket to connect to MySQL, then your firewall won't be a problem at all.

If it would be of interest my referer_log contained these three lines at the end after i tried to install:

http://192.168.123.158/install.php -> /install.php
http://192.168.123.158/install.php?941688619 -> /install.php
http://192.168.123.158/install.php -> /install.php

Well, one way would be to make firewall allow connections from 127.0.0.1 on port 3306. The other would involve using UNIX Domain Sockets. Find file called mysql.sock on your computer and enter the full path to that file with a ':' prefix as the hostname for MySQL.

There were still no error messages!!!!!

wow that is 'interesting';

try this script:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
if( !mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "user", "password") ) {
 exit("Could not connect ".mysql_error()."<br>\n");
}
if( !($r = mysql_query("SELECT VERSION()")) ) {
exit("Query Failed: ".mysql_error()."<br>\n");
}
print_r(mysql_fetch_row($r));
mysql_free_result($r);
?>

Once this script works via the web you'll be able to install the forum.

Uhm that error implies lack of MySQL support inside your installation. In fact now that I look at your phpinfo() I see that your PHP did not come with MySQL support.

I do not know, I do not use redhat. I suspect Redhat did compile their PHP with MySQL module, however it is likely that the MySQL module is not enabled by default. Which means that you will need to make php load it by uncommenting or adding a line to php.ini.

Does the file exist and if so what are its permissions?

Does it work if you specify 127.0.0.1 as the host?

Hmm, most unusual problem. You may want to turn of persistant connections, since it could cause problems on systems that were not configured to handle them.
