    Scott Smith - 2003-08-07

    Two servers involved, DB Server, HTTP Server.

    DB Server
    W2K AS. SP3.
    mySQL 4.0.14-NT

    HTTP Server
    W2K S. SP4
    IIS 5
    PhP 4.3.1

    When browsing to the root of where I placed the files, I get redirected to isntall.php (normal so far). I enter the db credentials, the DB verifies fine. Input the remainder of the information, and submit the form. Processes for several seconds then I am sitting on a blank install.php with NO prompt to download config.php

    The Tables are created, the admin account is Inserted correctly. Everything seems to go as planned just no config.php is created.

    I have tried deleting the default config.php thinking this would force one to be built and either written or downloaded but to no avail.

    Any future browsing to the root I continue to get redirected to install.php because of the lack of config.php.

    I am somewhat new to PhP coming from the CF world, so I may be overlooking something that is very obvious here!

      same here and as it seems for many people but I still didn't find a solution to that

        If all tables are created and you just want to get up and running you can easily copy config-dist.php to config.php and edit the five DB_* entries as well as the TBL_PREFIX.

        If you wish to help fix the problem you should look for any error log from your system. Maybe from php, your database or webserver? Report all such entries together with a description of *your* system. or is it identical to what Scott had two years ago?

        Also: Try the latest phpBT RC. Try upgrading PHP and PEAR. Try upgrading MySQL. Try using Apache.
