win2K iis5 vblite install error at stept 1

[BrianDH]

After installing mySQL PHP and uploading VBLite when I run the localhost/admin/install.php3 I get these erros and can not go any further.

Notice: Undefined variable: step in C:\forms\lite package\upload\admin\install.php3 on line 14

[Steve Machol]

You just installed PHP, right? Unless you install PHP3 you shouldn't be using the php3 download files.

[BrianDH]

installed ver

I installed php ver 4.2.0 for win 32

[Steve Machol]

Then use the php download, not php3. Also be ware that PHP 4.2.0 has just been released and there may be some compatibility issues between it and vB Lite.

[BrianDH]

confused

OK I downloaded the vbLite PHP and installed it still getting same errors

[B]Guess I'll uninstall php 4.+ and get a copy of 3 [/B][/QUOTE]You could try but I doubt that will help. It sounds like there's a problem with your PHP installation but I have no idea what that could be. Create a phpinfo.php file with this content:

[php]<?php
phpinfo();
?>[/php]Upload it to your forums directory and post the URL here.

[BrianDH]

php infor link

ok go to this url
[url]http://63.88.59.216/NewAPBApps/maindir.asp[/url]
and then click phpinfo

[BrianDH]

since last install

OK since last install of php3 no matter what file I try to open i get the same results

"No input file specified"

Installed PHP 4.2.0 today and received same error. Seems that the variable $step in the install.php is not being properly set or passed. If you type in around line 12

$step="2";

and then hit refreash, you will go to next page. In fact, you can go through the entire install by manualy setting the value of $step. However, once installed you will encounter many other issues.

Bang!

[Steve Machol]

PHP 4.2.0 is not compatible with vB.

I notice that you have 'register_globals' turned off. This need to be 'On' for vB to work.

In your php.ini file:

register_globals = On

Note the capital 'O' in On. For some reason Windows servers are picky about this.

[BrianDH]

OK did it no change

thanks but same error on step variable.
