    i need helping installing.. i get ERRORS

    okay.. so I went to

    /forum/admin/install.php3

    and everything was looking good

    But after like 2 steps... after:

    Only continue to the next step if those details are correct. If they are not, please edit your config.php3 file and reupload it. The next step will test database connectivity.

    Click here to continue ->

    I get an error that says...

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@****.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

            write to your host and ask them if they require the /path/to/php in the top of script pages. it apprears they are running PHP as CGI.

            If they are on an NT server, they probably don't have PHP enabled for that folder.

                if there system is set up properly, you shouldn't have to CHMOD.

                if they are running as CGI (a not so bright move considering the increase in load) then you would have to ask them what the CHMOD settings are. I would almost be willing to bet they recommenf CHMOD 755 for most files.

                  Okay.. I called back.. he said that their server are not NT.... and that the path to the PHP is
                  /home/gopednation/www/cgi-bin/

                  He also told me to ask you if the script support PHP-CGI, because they don't support PHO MODULE

                  I hope this helps us better understand if the script will work.. thanks

                    the script will definitely work under PHP as CGI. if you do a quick search, you will see what to add to the tops of the files and which files not to add it to.

                    I don't know why they would be running PHP as CGI, though. It will cost you in terms of performance.

                      I'm sorry.. but i tried searching

                      "PHP as CGI"
                      "add to the top of the files"

                      But I couldn't find anything... can you point me towards the right direction? thanks

                        add the path to PHP (something like "#!usr/bin/php") to the tops of all files except global.php, admin/global.php, admin/db_mysql.php and admin/config.php

                            if that's what they told you the path was, that should work.
