#232 System continually deletes config.inc.php

Everytime I attempt to install phpopenchat 3.0.1
it goes through and I get three greens on the first page....then on clicking I get
"Fatal error: Failed opening required 'config.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') "
When I checked out what was going on I found that the file was being deleted after clicking on "Next" at step one.
I have followed as much as I can to date the issues surrounding adodb/adodb4.5.3 from the bugs listings, but this is not helping me.

I get this problem too. I am hosting on linux with mysql.

If i reupload config.inc.php after it has been deleted, then
refresh the 'step 2' install page, it displays the traffic
light icons indicating im on step 2, but then the rest of
the page is blank.

I have the same deal going on :-(

I had the same problem. The problem is in
class.Installer.inc the function _check_path. It is once
called with the path to the config file as its first
argument ($path), and then calls (under Unix)
system('rm -rf '.$path.$test_file);
where $test_file=""
Thus the config file gets deleted.
As a workaround I changed line 171 from
$test_file = '';
to
$test_file = 'test';
I then succeeded to install phpopenchat.

Fixing this bug (line 171) and updating the adodb files does
not get you past step #2 of installation and test.php is still
nothing but html tags.
