Problem installing on Mac with MAMP?

I get a few screens into the installation process and then get the following screen:

Resized Image

And then when I click next I get a blank screen. (Everything before that point was all green lights, fwiw.)

I did a search of the forums on MAMP and found one post which suggested the issue is with the port that localhost uses not being set to 80. I am kind of a newbie to that stuff and all I know is I have to use localhost:8888 for things to work under MAMP. I have successfully installed Mambo and Website Baker under MAMP so I feel like I know at least a little bit how that should work.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to proceed?

Thanks!

I get this question alot, seems that PHP 4.4.2 and the latest 5 have probs with XOOPS installation. setting a domain to use PHP 4.3.10 and it works perfectly, set back and XOOPS is fine. Seems to be something with the new PHPs.

What version of PHP are you running? Also make sure your mainfile.php has write permissions on it.

Im not sure on a MAC how PHP is installed, ive only installed PHP on Linux \ Windows servers.

http://us2.php.net/get/php-4.3.10-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror

is the older version of PHP that most hosting providers still use. change the current parser of .php files to the one in this package.

Thank you! I don't know how to install php from that link but I went into MAMP's preferences and found a place I could change which version of PHP it uses. Although interestingly, it is using 4.4.2, not 4.3.10, but everything worked after that. Oh, I also found a place to change my apache port settings, so I changed that from 8888 to 80, as I read that advice in another post. I compelted the install and got to the admin panel so it all seems to be working now!
