cannot get past install page

[thegent]

the install refuses to work
it does not say why not though so i am lost

what do i do now?

[kegobeer]

Post your Coppermine version, all of your server details, and explain what happens during the install process.

Without any information, I'd guess you are using PHP 5+ without register_long_arrays enabled.

Thank you my enlightened friend, that fixed it.
BUT i could find no reference to that in the install procedure docs that i downloaded with it

i owe you a keg or three (inflation you know)

cheers

I just added it to the stable branch.  GauGau, could you repackage 1.3.4 so new downloads will have the updated instructions?

[Joachim Müller]

Would mean another release (cpg1.3.5) - do we really have to go through this?

[kegobeer]

Why another release?  Why can't you just package the files and simply replace the current 1.3.4 zip file?

[Joachim Müller]

we've done that before once, and it caused a lot of grief, as we had to ask users who complained about particular issues "did you upload the package before the date xx/xx/xxxx or after. Re-download the package that you already have". Additionally, the versions (in versioncheck.php) wouldn't be matching, which would annoy users who do a fresh install and force us to answer questions about this as well.
To me, it's a policy that a package never changes after release, even if we know that it contains bugs.
