YaBBse install wil not function

[Tjer.]

Hi,

My php is not running in safe mode so I downloaded the standard install files. I put them in a yabbse folder and go to http://www.mywebsite.com/yabbse/install.php

At that moment I get the message that php is not running in safe mode so I can continue. When I click the continue link nothing happens....... How is this possible?

thx

Check the following:

1st: did you upload the .ya in BINARY

2nd: did you enter the correct path variables,

3rd: did you chmod your install dir to 777

ALso check to see if register_globals is on

I have the same problem, and can't figure it out, I did chmod my yabbse dir to 777, I did get the .ya in BINARY, I'm not sure what path variables you are talking about and how do you check to see if register_globals is on?

thanks

What Is CHMOD to 777?     I'm Stupid I Guess

What Is CHMOD to 777?     I'm Stupid I Guess

It has to do with UNIX file permission.  Basically 777 allows the web server to write into that directory which is needed for the non-safe mode installer.  Most FTP programs have an option to chmod something.

ok i can get to a good installation now......after intering my info:
localhot
rkclan
*Pass*
rkclan_db
yabbse_

I get This:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 10 seconds exceeded in install.php on line 133

What Does It Mean?

I have now a new installation problem, when I go to myhost.com/yabbse/install.php I get the installation window with message:
"Notice: Undefined variable: step in ...\yabbse\install.php on line 53
Safe Mode Check:
It appears that safe mode has been disabled. You may continue.
Click here to continue."

As I click the link nothing happens, except the URL changes to http://myhost.com/yabbse/install.php?step=zero . Now I can keep clicking on the link all day, but really nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Ok I know what the problem is .. im quite sure!

It is PHP 4.2.0 !

I installed yabb se without any problems on my local PC!
Today i installed PHP 4.2.0 and the installation of YaBB SE dont work!

It i press on "continue" it wont go to step "zero"!
And when i modify the url to ?step=1 or ?step=2 it also nothing happens!

I guess its PHP 4.2.0 right?

hmm .....

YaBBSE currently will not work with PHP 4.2.0.  The devs are aware of this and are in the process of trying to fix it.  Take a look at this thread and this one for more information.

ok im runnin 4.2.0 on my home PC on win 2000

i set register_globals to "on" and everything is working!

My problem is similar to what's been reported in this thread, so here goes.

I retrieved the installer via wget from the server that's to be running the board. I created the yabbse directory via bash, chmodd'd it to 777, and copied the install.php and the yse130.ya there. The install.php runs fine until it hits step 4, where it simply hangs. I've tried this with an empty db, with the tables in place, and with the tables and data in place. (I'm trying to migrate an existing board to this server.) PHP is version 4.1.2, register_globals is on, the db is accessible by the userid I'm using, and permissions are all 777, which should be ok, especially considering that Apache is running as root. Safe mode is off for php. When i check the files, while step 4 is rolling, it creates the Settings.pl, and adds the first few entries, stopping with the Encryption line. After this, nothing at all.

Same here... I'm wondering if YaBBSE works with PHP 4.1.2.

I didn't have any problems with PHP 4.0.6, but since you can't use 4.0.6 any more... Oh well. Is there a compatibility issue like there is with 4.2.0?
