XML error - fresh new install

[Joe_Black]

This is only my second vBulletin install, so be gentle... http://images.vbulletin.com/images_vb3/smilies/biggrin.gif

Did a whole bunch 'o searchin' and didn't find anything pertinent to this problem, so apologies to the search nazis if I missed it!

In going through the new install steps I get to about part 7 and the error appears as in the included screenshot. If I click on the little blank "buttonette" it repeats the previous step and then back to the screen as shown with the same XML error.

Thanks in advance for any insight and/or guidance with this issue!

First, why are you installing 3.6.3 instead of 3.6.4?

Thiis error means that either the vB files were all not uploaded, the includes/*.xml files were not uploaded correctly, or your server's PHP is not compiled with xml support.

First, reupload all the original vB non-image files. Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file.

Then if you still have this problem, create a text file with this content:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Name it 'phpinfo.php' then upload it to your forum directory and post the URL here. This will help us troubleshoot the problem.

Started install before 3.6.4 released, got it now though and after uploading and beginning installation again with 3.6.4 rather than 3.6.3 the error hasn't re-appeared. Thanks!
