Hi
After trialing several errors while the installation, my only way to escape from this is to ask some pros. So, here we go. ;)
While installation I successfully passed the following "checkpoints":
* Unpack the archive preserving the directory structure DONE!
* Upload all files onto your webserver (make sure to use the correct ftp mode) DONE!
* CHMOD the folders albums and include to 755 (or 777, depending on your server config) - this step is really important, don't skip it! DONE!
* Run the install script on your server (http://your_server/coppermine_dir/install.php) and follow the instructions DONE!
After this, there comes a form in which I have to enter my mySQL-details and my admin user details. I entered the info, but after hitting the "Let's go!" button, the browser only reloads the same page and nothing else happens. The data I entered was not send(?) and the data is 1000000%-ly RIGHT! But if the data would be wrong I think the script would output an error, but there is no error message or a hint what to do.....
The facts: I entered the right data, I hit the "Let's go!"-button, the side reloads, no data was send (?) and nothing happens.
I tried this with both versions of the gallery (CPG 1.3.2 & CPG 1.3.3), I tried it with IE and Firefox but always the same error.....
Does somebody know what the hell is going on there?
Best regards,

Is it possible that I have to set "php_register_globals" to "ON" ?
What version of PHP are you using? There are some incompatability issues with php5.
Register globals is not required for Coppermine. If you are using PHP5 ensure you have long arrays enabled.
Thank you!
I'm using PHP Version 5.0.3 and long arrays was disabled. Now it's working!
Another question:
Is it necessary to let the long arrays being enabled or is it possible to deactivate this after installation? Otherwise I would change the code to deactivate it. I think long arrays will slow down the performance, or not?
Leave it enabled. You can disable it once you upgrade to 1.4, which does not need this setting (when it is released). The performance difference is negligable.
Thanks for your help!
