Re:Help me if you can

It may be easier of you could create a phpinfo file and provide that link.  In a text file (can create in notepad) add this:

Code Select Expand

<?phpphpinfo();?>



Name it phpinfo.php and upload it to your server.  Then post the link

[Mr.Looney]

PHPinfo.php Will show you if you have the MySQL or not and many other things...  

[Mr.Looney]

You only need the second one... That is the info that everyone will ask for to find any problems that you might have...

The version that works, gives loads of data.  Here is the url:

Just like with the install.php in my yabbse directory, I couldn't get it to work (internal error)...here is the url:
http://www.beatleart.com/cgi-bin/yabbse/phpinfo.php

The reason why the former doesn't work is because PHP scripts are not supposed to go in the cgi-bin directory...

Anyway, according to your phpinfo() it seems like MySQL is supported, and I can't see any reason why YaBB SE wouldn't work.

Actually it looks like it wasn't configured with mysql support.  You should have something like this in the configure command: --with-mysql=/usr'

Check out configure command: http://www.yabb.info/phpinfo.php

That is because they need to fix it

Um well...I'm sure all hosts are different.  So I can't really say it's abnormal.  If it's extra work for them and it's not something they have by default then they may charge.  That being said...most hosts have PHP/mySQL installed already for next extra cost and I wouldn't think of going to one where both are installed and working properly...
