I downloaded and did the un-tar with no problem. I tried running the install.php from the shell but with received the following error messages:
./install.php: ?php: No such file or directory
./install.php: /bin: is a directory
./install.php: COPYING: command not found
./install.php: COPYING: command not found
./install.php: COPYING: command not found
./install.php: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `(C'
./install.php: line 6: `* copyright : (C) 2001,2002 Advanced Internet Designs Inc.'
I then tried the web install. I got to the page where I supply the MySQL information but then when I click next I get a blank screen. I waited a while but nothing ever happened.
On page 2 of the userguide, it suggests checking on mysql status with php. I entered the example code with my root ID and password. When I ran it I received the display "3.23.48-log" which is what I assume I should get.
What do I need to do next to run the install.php script?

I just ran through the web install again and got past that previous problem. I got to a screen that said the setup was complete and if I clicked next I would be taken to the login screen. That did not work - I just got a page cannot be displayed screen.

Thanks for your comments The userguide claims that the install file can be executed. That needs to be updated.
You said "The broken URL problem is likely the result of mislabeled option in the install.php script, which made you put incorrect data into to WWW_ROOT & correspondingly the COOKIE_PATH was not correctly generated.
To fix this problem, edit the GLOBALS.php file, and modify the 2 options I've mentioned above." Can you be more explicit? Exactly what should I change?
Thanks again.
Jim

okie, well you open the GLOBALS.php file, go to the line which says something like $WWW_ROOT = "some path";
you change "some path" to be the full path to the web dir where you forum is:
ex: http://www.myforum.com/forum/ (make sure there is a trailing /)
Then you go to line which says $COOKIE_PATH = "something";
And you change "something" to the dir where your forum is installed.
ex: if you have http://www.myforum.com/forum/ inside your WWW_ROOT your make COOKIE_PATH equal to "/forum/"

Ok, that helped a lot -- Thanks!!!
Now that everything seems to be working, I would like to make a few changes in how it looks. The main thing is that I would like to get rid of the smiley shortcuts. They are nice but not appropriate for the intended users of my forum. If I delete them all in the control panel will that make that section of the post form go away?
I did not seem to see a section in the control panel for the post icons. Can I delete some of them or add new ones?
Thanks again for your help.
Jim

The smiley shortcuts appearing despite there being no smileys is a bug. A temporary fix is to set "Allow Smileys" option in the forum control panel to "NO" for every forum.
It will hide the "Smiley Shortcuts:" section.
I'll make sure that in the next release the smiley section will no appear on the post page if there are no smileys.
As for message icons, you simply delete the ones you don't like from the hard drive. They will be automatically removed.
