    Install won't get past step 1

    Hi

    My vblite installation won't progress past step one.

    "Welcome to vBulletin Lite version 1.0.1 Lite. Running this script will do a clean install of vBulletin onto your server.

    Click here to continue ->"

    When I click the page simply refreshes. Can anyone help please?

    I'm running apache 2.0.39, php 4.2.1 and mysql 3.23.51 on my local xp machine.

    Thanks

    Is register_globals on in PHP? vB Lite won't run unless this is on.

      I'm not sure. I'm pretty new to this.

      How do I check?

        Do you have a phpinfo.php file? If not create a text file with this content:

        [php]<?php
        phpinfo();
        ?>[/php]Name it 'phpinfo.php' then upload it to your forum directory and post the URL here. This will help us troubleshoot the problem.

          I'm running through a network so can't post the url.

          I've attached the file instead. Just change the file extension from txt to htm.

            As I suspected register_globals is off. This needs to be on for vB Lite to work. Add or change this line in php,ini:

            register_globals = On

              That done the trick, thanks.

              If I purchase VB, does the full version of vb need them to be turned on too?

                No, 2.2.6 was written to specifically allow register_globals to be off. :)
