Install dies on Step 2

[bill]

I'm stuck. My installation of vbLite is dying on Step 2. I can open install.php, but when I click on the link that goes to http://localhost/vblite/admin/install.php?step=2 nothing happens. The page remains the same and if I click on the "Click here to continue ->" link the page remains static. It keeps pointing to http://localhost/vblite/admin/install.php?step=2. I get no error messages, nothing. Help would be appreciated.

Here's what I have: NT4 Japanese with IIS4, PHP 4.0.1pl2 running as CGI, MySQL 3.23.21

config.php is:
<?php

// only mysql is supported at the moment
$dbservertype="mysql";
// hostname or ip of server
$servername="localhost";
// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername="bill";
$dbpassword="*******";
// name of database
$dbname="freewareforum";

//password for control panel
$cppassword="foy4wellesley";

?>

I found the problem and fix it. You need to check your php.ini and change some variables in it.

What variables did you change in the php.ini? There are quite a few to choose from.

Step 2 of vBulletin is supposed to be checking that you have uploaded config.php...at least that's what the installation documentation says...

:)Solution to this problem was to use php.ini-dist instead of php.ini-optomized along with a few suggestions (http://vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=2085) from Martin.:)
