Install stops after entering database information

[wildwalker]

Hello all,

Let me tell you some information first

I am using Win2k Pro
IIS
php 5.0.4

MySql Server 4.1.13a-nt
MySql Client 5.0.4

Coppermine 1.3.3

I installed PHP using the php-5.0.4-installer.exe
I installed mysql-essential-4.1.13a-win32.msi

I created a database (catalogue) using the mysql-administrator-1.1.1-rc-win.msi i installed

I unpacked the coppermine files to d:\cpg133 complete with directory structure

I added d:\cpg133 as the default folder in IIS

I ran the install (http://localhost/phpinf.php) wich has the phpinfo in it and checked that regsiter_long_arrays = On

I removed the section from the install.php to stop the 2 errors:

Notice: Undefined index: PATH_TRANSLATED in D:\cpg133\index.php on line 21
Notice: Undefined offset: -1 in D:\cpg133\index.php on line 22

But my install stops after I enter all my database details on the first page of the install and I get just the coppermine logo on the page.

I have read lots of pages on this site and most of them refer to the long arrays.

Oh yes, I dont have imagemagic, I am using GD (I think it's built in to PHP now?)

Is there a log file that tells me where in the script coppermine stopped?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php#VersionGD to find out if you actually have GD.
Did you create the database coppermine is suppossed to use already, and did you make sure the mySQL user has permissions to execute the needed mysql command (CREATE TABLE, ALTER, SELECT, UPDATE)?
You will have to make sure that you already have the pre-requisites before you can actually install coppermine: the webserver, the mysql database, php and the image library (GD in your case) have to be up-and-running before you can start installing coppermine.
