I have recently tried to install PHPOpenChat, but have run into MANY problems.

I am running MySQL, PHP on a Windows platform.  The database was created and the schema imported successfully...I run the "test.php" file and everything comes up green, so I move on.

When I run the install.php file, the following error lines come up and ultimately, the chat does not work because it says it can't connect to the database:

Notice: Undefined index: step in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\phpopenchat-3.0.2\install.php on line 32

I know you're all very busy but could someone take a few minutes and help me get this straightened out in simple, plain english.  I am not a database programmer, just someone with a phpbb website that would like to add chat.

Thank you all in advance!!
