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.
Do not send me a private message unless I ask for one.  Make your post public so everyone can benefit.

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

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

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

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.
