Sounds like the install.php you got is corrupt.

I would be interested to know what CORRUPT is all about and WHY it happens... MY guess as a novice would be that the INSTALL.php is NOT happy with MAY of the hosted space managers NOT allowing shell access ....like NOT letting us RUN an installer!!!!!!!

Can I get the LOOSE files from CVS??

THANKS...it's awesome though we can't use it on our servers as we can't install the installer!!!!

thanks

No, I use the same install.php on my PC ,it works well,so i think it is not the problem of install.php,but the restrict of the install.php's functions. i build apache+php+mysql on my PC again,using default parameters, the install.php work fine,but why it cannot work on my ISP'space,Ie get a error of "cannot find server",why?

Hmm can you see which PHP functions were disabled by your ISP?

If you could tell me which ones where I could see if FUDforum can avoid using them or find other solutions.

The latest RC (2.5.3RC3) no longer depends on the phpversion() function and phpinfo() is not used by FUDforum at all.

I am not sure about usage of the system() command but I'll check, iirc it is not used anywhere during install or normal forum operations.

It is possible that your server does not allow timezone changes or does not support that particular timezone. Try chaging the timezone to other regions in your vacinity.

thanks Ilia's hard work,i can install FUD on my ISP'server now,but a terrible message comes:
Your php version (4.1.2) is older then the minimum required version (4.2.0). Please install the newer version and try again.

I think this is the problem of my ISP,but can i suggest he to change php version successfully,i donnt know,because he has many virtual host on his server,he could not change this for me only,except he also find some problem with his low version's php.

can u help me again? Laughing

FUDforum 2.5.0+ can only be installed on PHP 4.2.0+ or greater, if you are using an older version then try installing FUDforum 2.3.9RC1. Then upgrade to 2.5.0+ when your ISP upgrades their PHP install.

Inside the install script there is a small piece of code responsible for checking the URL supplied by you. It uses fsockopen() comment out that entire bit of code and try again.

thank u first.....
i still have 2 questions:
1. can i comment out some function in V2.3.9,does this version not check checksum of MD5?

2. the install.php detected the path info is :
Server Root: /u/support.8-e.net/
Forum Data Root: /z1/kevin8e/public_html/support/forum/

i stored install.php in /z1/kevin8e/public_html/support/
is this correct?

thnx!

You can comment out the md5sum check, but without that check you are likely to have a corrupt archive. Remember the md5sum check only checks the validity of the compressed data, if you modify the source code of the installer that portion of the installer should remain the same.

i have tried serveral time to modify the below script ,
i removed ! from "if( !($fs = fsockopen($url_data['host'], $url_data['port']" ,so it can go to else,but i got this:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /z1/kevin8e/public_html/forum/install.php on line 482

so i remove all portion of if ,but it cannot work.

here is :
if( !($fs = fsockopen($url_data['host'], $url_data['port'], $errno, $errstr, 10)) ) {
echo "<br>\nWARNING: Couldn't connect to ".$url_data['host']." on port ".$url_data['port']."<br>\nSocket Error #: $errno<br>Socket Error Reason: $errstr<br>\n";
@unlink($SERVER_ROOT.'WWW_ROOT_CHECK');
}
else {
fwrite($fs, "GET ".$url_data['path']."WWW_ROOT_CHECK HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: ".$url_data['host']."\r\n\r\n");
if( function_exists("socket_set_timeout") ) @socket_set_timeout($fs, 10);
$ret_code = fgets($fs, 1024);
fclose($fs);
@unlink($SERVER_ROOT.'WWW_ROOT_CHECK');

if( !strstr($ret_code, "200") )
seterr('WWW_ROOT', 'Your WWW_ROOT does not correspond with the SERVER_ROOT path you have specified. (unable to retrive: '.$WWW_ROOT.'WWW_ROOT_CHECK, on disk as: '.$SERVER_ROOT.'WWW_ROOT_CHECK, received: '.$ret_code);
}
what should i uncommented?

BTW,I have the same problem on my PC,but the third time i installed successfully.
thank U!

My ISP have told me he will never update php to current version,so i have only one way to go,uncomment some line of Fudforum 2.3.9, let it can pass check & run on my ISP's server,It is not a way to modify FUD for me .so i will spend the whole 7 days of our National day to read script of FUD carefully to do some modify later.

I think your modification problems stem from 1 thing. The editor you are using changes line endings from \n to \r\n, which invalidates the archive. Make sure the editor that you are using does not do this.
