bunch of errors on install

[tom2]

i am getting a bunch of errors on install:

running IIS 5 on win2000

made a yabbse folder and set the everyone group to full controll

run install.php

first error:
Warning: Undefined variable: step in C:\Inetpub\iwaters\install.php on line 25

safe mode check was ok

next got:
Warning: Undefined index: DOCUMENT_ROOT in C:\Inetpub\iwaters\install.php on line 41

leaving intsall directory to "/yabbse" i get:
Directory /yabbse does not exist yet, please create it first

but remove the "/" and just use "yabbse" it works

then i get a big list of everything being wrote and this error on the bottom:
Warning: Undefined offset: 1 in C:\Inetpub\iwaters\install.php on line 85

Proceed> enter database info Proceed again

then i get a whole bunch of these:
Warning: Undefined variable: count in C:\Inetpub\iwaters\install.php on line 218

fill in url's and proceed and:
Settings.php was modified successfully

fill in admin info and proceed and get:
Warning: Undefined variable: skip in C:\Inetpub\iwaters\install.php on line 365

go to my board and get every error you could think of
http://www.intlwaters.com/yabbse/index.php

any ideas??

thanks a lot for any help!

tiny bit better... i used the actual path and entered c:/inetpub/iwaters/yabbse

still got the same errors but it now show that i have a board installed with about 100 error messeges above it

any ideas??

Sounds like you may be running your php in error mode- open up c:\winnt\php.ini- and make sure display_errors and display_startup_errors are both set to off.

i have the same probs on IIS4.0 with Win2k and PHP 4.1.0 and MySQL. MySQL seems to work but i got all those errors. they're gone after i've edited the ini file for PHP but i can't use the board anyway. if i click on the preinstalled board i get this errormessage now:

Code Select Expand

8: Undefined variable: showmods
(c:\Inetpub\webpub\YaBBSE\Sources\MessageIndex.php ln 110)

and several more on saving my profile and more....

Ok i feagured out that i had to put in a moderator to get it to work. but if i don't need one??? i am admin i don't need a moderator for just one board. hmmm weird. works now...

next error on trying a reply!

8: Undefined index: attachment
(c:\Inetpub\webpub\yabbse\Sources\Post.php ln 574)

[tom2]

i turned off error mode... and that helped to not show the errors but it seems that we have the exact same prob... get :

Undefined index: attachment
(c:\inetpub\iwaters\yabbse\Sources\Post.php ln 574)

after a reply and making a new post

any help appreciated!

under Forum Preferences and Settings i saw a box that says "Check this box if you experience errors on an MS IIS server". i checked it and id did not seem to make a difference. when i went back to look at it again it was not checked. tried a few times... it dont stay checked??

[Jeff Lewis]

Looking into things...can you update it manually?

[tom2]

you mean update that check box manually? where is it?

well now i modified the settings page some more and got this error:
An Error Has Occurred!

8: Undefined variable: mts1
(c:\inetpub\iwaters\yabbse\Sources\Admin.php ln 967)

i changed to smtp, the server address and the board name

ok modified the settings.php manually... put mailtype back to 0 and fixed that error... i guess it dont like smtp i got the other box checked for IIS servers and it still gives the same errors

[Jay Silverman]

In php.ini, I had to change error_reporting to  E_ERROR to get everything to work.

Oh, and showmods is a bug in the first release of SE...an older version of boardindex.pl was released in the release zip.

[Samm]

I am having the exact same set of errors! And to make sure, i just downloaded the zip again this very second and installed again, and still the same errors! I just turned error reporting off and next is the showmods error on the messageindex. I'm not even gonna bother going any furthar cos i know whats gonna happen next just from reading this thread! Someone should sort this out.

EDIT: I can't even stay logged in. I log in and get logged back out after 1 click. (And yes, i have changed the cookie username and password variables so they're not the same as any previous ones...)
This is weird!

[tom2]

Jay has it right... that's what you have to do to fix it. I'm working now... Thanks Jay!!!!

* tom2 very happy!

[Jay Silverman]

Glad to help.

[Samm]

Ok, setting error_reporting to E_Error fixed the bugs but i still can't stay logged in...
