You didn;t mention your MySQL version:
Quote:
To install XOOPS for the first time you'll need to have the minimum following server software pre-installed on your host webserver:
* HTTP Server (Apache or IIS) "Note, XOOPS only officially supports Apache"
* PHP 4.1.0 and higher (4.1.x recommended) Note: PHP 5 may cause a problem until the next release. If you have PHP5 please check the Install#Troubleshooting note.
* MySQL Database 3.23.XX or 4.xx (XOOPS will have compatability with MySQL 5 in the next release.)
This might also help -
Installation fails (using PHP 5)
The install wizard is not fully compatible with PHP 5. One simple change will fix this, and will also be included in the next release.
Symptoms
During the install process you see messages like these :
*
File ../mainfile.php overwritten by ../mainfile.dist.php.
*
Failed writing constant C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs.
*
Failed writing constant
http://localhost.
*
Failed writing constant mysql.
*
Failed writing constant xoops.
*
etc...
Solution
edit /install/class/mainfilemanager.php by changing :
$content = fread($file, filesize($this->path) );
fclose($file);
to
clearstatcache();
$content = fread($file, filesize($this->path) );
fclose($file);
Please note - I am only guessing!
