Having Problem With Phpbb

[kurosen]

Hey guys

 

Having a little trouble installing phpbb on my local server (never had trouble when using a hosting company). Here's the full rundown:

 

-Running Abyss Server, site works just fine

 

-FTP works just fine and is running on Filezilla server

 

-Unzipped phpbb to a folder named "forum" so it was accessible through http (ie: site.com/forum)

 

-granted r/w access for config.php from FTP client

 

-Installed PHP 4.4.1 and selected for type of server: None (or other server)

 

-Installed MySQL 5.0

 

-Tried accessing http://site.com/forum/install/install.php

 

 

Below is the result of trying to access www.site.com/forum/install/install.php

 

Someone please help as this forum needs to be up by Thursday, thanks

From the looks of it, I'd say that PHP isn't correctly set up and configured.

Hey d3, thanks for the reply. I tried setting it to use "IIS 4 and up" and still get the same problem. Could you help guide me on configuring PHP for Abyss web server? I'd really appreciate it

To be honest, before this post I hadn't even heard of Abyss. So, I'm afraid that I won't be of any help there.

Whats that desktop theme? Looks pretty sweet?

psychotic I'll check when I get home

 

Ok so I figured out the php issue and now I can get to the install screen (install.php) the problem I'm having now is about setting up a database. I'm using MySQL 5.0.15 but only see an option for MySQL 3.X and 4.X

 

It also says the database I need to install to must already exist. I went to the MySQL command line and did "CREATE DATABASE kurosen" and it accepted.

phpBB : Critical Error

 

I'm guessing I have to make some kind of link between PHP and MySQL but don't know how. I also haven't figured out what to do regarding CHMOD (getting a "500 syntax error" from my Filezilla FTP server when attempting) and what needs to be set. Please guys I would be grateful for any and all help. Thanks :cries inside:
