Error during installation of vb 5.1.8

[Mobeen Janjua]

Hi,

I am installing vb 5.1.8 (new installation). Database connect correctly but after that I got following error message...

Action Required
The server returned no response. This is probably due to a timeout setting. Please contact vBulletin Support for assistance

I will be grateful if someone help me in this regard,

Thanks

Increase the PHP execution limit (max_execution_time) to 600 seconds or higher.

Changing it via .htaccess file is the fastest way to do it. Changing it via php.ini usually requires your host to do it for you.

Thanks for your reply.

I have add that line in .htaccess file and get new error now .. 500 Internal Server Error.... Please contact website admin ......

Following error occur before when I tried to install vb 5.1.8 yesterday and this morning:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_userinfo() on a non-object in /home/123456/public_html/core/vb/library/user.php on line 848

this error I found in a error log file...

Most likely you've made an error in the .htaccess file, or your host doesn't support making such a change.
Restore the default .htaccess file and ask your hosts to make the change.

Thanks Mr. Mark for your support.. Today my host change above settings i.e. set_time_limit(600); (this change not allowed in share hosting and they change the value to 600 for one hour) but after that when I install vb 5.1.8 and still get same error.. image attached

We'd need to know what the actual server error was...ask your hosts if they can pull this out from the server error logs.

What is your mysql setting in core/includes/config.php?

$config['Database']['dbtype']

Make sure it is mysqli and not mysql

[Mobeen Janjua]

Yes its mysqli......$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysqli';
