three months of trying off and on, and still haven't gotten past a blank install page, but then i probably shouldn't be admitting this in public ;)
1. i do not have root access. is it possible to successfully install phpbt without it? my current configuration can be seen at http://googlicious.com/mombugs/info.php. (apache1.3.27/php 4.2.3)
2. i think i have smarty installed because i no longer see the "smarty not installed" page. it stopped showing up when i changed the path declaration at the beginning of install.php. is this a reasonable assumption? i do see the install.php page.
3. i have (via .htaccess) added the path to the pear file i found on my server. i was expecting a pear directory, but found only a file named pear in /usr/local/bin. is this correct?
4. i have chmod 777 the entire directory. when i submit install.php, i get a blank page and nothing written to config.php. anybody know what this indicates?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yup, from what you have said, pear is not installed correctly. Somewhere in your include path needs to be a pear directory with php files such as DB.php, etc.
The code in cvs right now includes the necessary pear files with the distribution.

i think i've narrowed this down to a pear problem. either it is not installed on my server, or i'm specifying the path incorrectly.

i just did an install from cvs and everything worked right out of the box....
Good to know -- sorry about the hassles!
