Problems installing

[Phonix420]

Ok so I am installing PCM for the first time, and I am hitting a few snags.



I setup mysql database as jammac62_neon

Added tables from the included mysql.sql file



Configured the configure.php as follows:



define("MYSQL_ADDRESS", "mysql4.freehostia.com");

define("MYSQL_USERNAME", "");

define("MYSQL_PASSWORD", "");

define("MYSQL_DATABASE", "neon");

define("MYSQL_PREFIX", "jammac");

?>



I installed the files to http://neondegenerates.freehostia.com/pcm/



So i visit the above site and I get the language choices with no flags or pictures (like i believe they're supposed to be there)



And when I click on 'English':

Not Found

The requested URL /pcm/install/install/index.php was not found on this server.



Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at neondegenerates.freehostia.com Port 80



What am I doing wrong?? Obviously there shouldn't be TWO install/install there.



Thanks for anyhelp

You shouldn't need to upload any mysql file, you upload the files and go to install. Try following the directions in the release and see if you still have the problem.

I have installed

Server 2003 SP2 R2

IIS 6

php-5.2.6

MySQL 5.1.32



After extracting upload folder to WWW folder I do get the installation on local machine, but with no joy getting past step 3.

Error: There was a problem writing to configure.php



I tried doing the manual install too, with creating datase and running script with in it and pointing install step 3 to it, no joy.

Copying output file to configure.php.

Also unmarked read only on the folders, but the installation screen still apears when pointing browser to web folder on local machine.



Any help to this would greatly be apreciated

ps. hope it make sence to everyone english is not my first language

You say you unmarked the read only folders.. did you chmod configure.php to 777 ?

[gperasmus]

Thank you for the quick response.
After some research I had to give user IUSR_XXX full writes to configure.php.
Now it Continues to step 4 with no options in, what to do?
I tried this though, changing 4 to 5, then it asks for login details. Entering details it follows to step=6 with no additional options. What can i do now, am i missing something?

First try logging into the site with the user name and password you gave it, it might have completed the install.

If that doesn't work then my best guess as to why you're getting a blank page on step 6 is because it can't find the files "../includes/post.php" or "../includes/configure.php".
