    i have successfully installed both apache and php on my windows 2003 server.
    my apache version is 2.0.55 and it is installed on the default direcotry
    C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\ my php version is 5.0.5 and it is intalled on the default directory as well
    c:\php
    i have installed mysql version 5.0.15-nt in directory C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0

    i have created a database named bug_tracker on my mysql server with the following command: "CREATE DATABASE bug_tracker" and it was created succesfully.
    i have created a test table and inserted few records into it to see all is well.

    when i run install.php and try to test the DB connection i have a blank pop-up ie window. before i had an error and i had to change the pear_path in install.php to
    define('PEAR_PATH', '/php/pear/');
    my pear installation is on C:\PHP\PEAR

    if i try and avoid the problem with the DB and press save options.

    the page(http://localhost/bugtracker/install.php) goes blank.

    thanks a lot for your help.

      Had high hopes for 1.0.1, project looks good.  Issues:

      1. Email address validation failed for my email, of the form user@foo-bar.com.
      2. Initial configuration won't save, had to edit the configuration file manually.
      3. No information on it's use of Smarty, which might be causing my blank pages.

      I'd love to get this working.

      Did you pick the correct version of MySQL in the database dropdown?

      > if i try and avoid the problem with the DB and press save options

      There is no way to avoid DB problems. If you get a blank page on the test you will also get a blank page on install.

      yes, i selected mysql >= 4.1

        Did you also try mysql<4.1? (there are / have been some of those "all-in-one" bundles with Apache, MySQL and PHP for Windows that renamed mysqli.dll to mysql.dll)

        How about trying a minimal php script that connects to your database server via PEAR::DB? Don't you get any errors in the system log when a connection fails?

      I have the same problem. I have try mysql<4.1 and mysql>=4.1 . However I still get that erro.
      Please give me some information to install Configuration part(after install Database option part). Thanks

      I am having the same problem with phpBT 1.0.1, CentOS 4.1, httpd-2.0.52, php-4.3.9 I've tried to connect to both MySQL and PostGreSQL.

      The only way to not get a blank screen is to not specify the path to Pear in install.php, but that will result in the failed to connect to database message.

      Nothing gets logged anywhere.  I'm guessing this is an issue with "Smarty", whatever that is.  Something mentioned that there was a package of phpBT with "Smarty" included... where is that?

      Same Problem Here.

      Cannot install PHP Bug Tracker.

      Have set path to pear.

      Pear is Installed.

      Installed packages:

      Package        Version State
      Archive_Tar    1.1     stable
      Console_Getopt 1.2     stable

      XML_RPC        1.1.0   stable

      Running Fedore Core 4
      latest stable version 4 php and mysql.

      Even tried putting pear and pear DB in local path and changing perms on it all. But no luck.

      About to give up and pack it in.
