Coppermine hangs on install.php

[DarkStar]

When I run install.php and click on "Let's go!", all I get is a blank page with a CPG logo at the top.

In the post here, stevepaugh says that he fixed the problem by adding

Code Select Expand

register_long_arrays = On to his php.ini file.

I looked at my php.ini file and it already had that line in it.

Any ideas?

If you're using RPMs for PHP, make sure you have the php-mysql RPM installed.  If it's not there, you only get the logo when you run install.php and submit the initial settings.

Ok, I found the problem.

I had MySQL installed, but it was not working at all.  After about 20 re-configures of MySQL and PHP and two OS reinstalls (I had other problems unrelated to this), it is finaly working.

I hope this helps someone else.
