Title: Installation won't go past the first page...
Post by: dhoward on April 11, 2006, 10:23:21 PM
I have downloaded the latest version of coppermine, read the install docs and tried to follow the instructions. I fill out the form on the install.php page and click the Let's Go! button, but nothing happens. It just returns me to the install.php page with none of the values retained.
Any suggestions? It's kinda frustrating....

IIS on MSWin2k3
Php 4
MySQL 5

It exhibits this behavior with Firefox & IE..
TIA

you're self-hosted, aren't you? I suggest reviewing this idea and considering webhosting instead.

That's not an option for us.  This is for an intranet. 
Any suggestions?
TIA

I've seen approximately the same behaviour, though I use PHP5.

The solution for me was to copy libmysql.dll from c:/php/ to c:/winnt/, since PHP5 don't come with mysql support compiled.
(Does your phpinfo show a MySQL section?)

I have never had this problem with PHP4, though. It comes with MySQL3 precompiled doesn't it? Maybe that client is deprecated in MySQL5?

Unfortunately, this doesn't apply to me as I'm using php 4.x

But yet it might.

Does your phpinfo show a MySQL section?
