Wow - great to have some feedback from so many people on the forums! Thanks guys.

There is a info.php page available if you want to have a look. I am hesitant to load up this forum by coping this very long page.

My very cheap host is called Hostlogical and I will be surprised if they are willing to upgrade their MySQL server just for little old me but will give it a shot anyways.

Any other suggestions most welcome.

Best, P

I had really hoped to find some compassionate soul on these forums who might help out with my install problems. Having followed instructions found on all install forums, wiki and FAQ sections, my site still refuses to work. Still, no experienced users have bothered to respond to what I thought were perfectly reasonable postings:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=31176&forum=1&post_id=136164#forumpost136164
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28806&forum=1&post_id=135666#forumpost135666

Open source this project is, but not exactly the most helpful community I've ever tried to join. Is anybody out there?

I've noticed from this post
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=29683&forum=1

that some people with a similar problem are changing some temp folder in MySQL - an option I'd love to try but my version of MySQL Administrator does not seem to have these select functions.

suggestions here most welcome.
cheers

In the meantime, here is my current (non-functioning site) www.cultureswap.org/

As this is a common problem, I've followed the FAQ and looked at all the other threads about installing XOOPS.
Still no luck. This seems such a great project and I'm anxious to join the community but need to get started first!

Following suggestions of earier poster, here is my info:

PHP Version 4.3.10
SQL Version 3.23.49
Apache 1.3.33
Xoops Version 2.9.0.2
Do you have a DB, with correct name and pass.
yes - the tables are in place and I can access via phpmyadmin

Register Globals, on

Xoops URL? yes - do you want my site url?
Xoops Path? - yes, works, do you want this?

Can you see install.php? have been through process successfully.

Can you see index.php? just top and bottom appear - middle section blank.

Can you log in? user page gives error:
Warning [Xoops]: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "db:system_userform.html" in file class/smarty/Smarty.class.php line 1084

Any help from you old XOOPS hands out there would be hugely appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

I'm having the exact same problem after installing XOOPS 2.0.9.2 with blank content areas and a similar error on the user.php page. Likewise, the templates_c folder has only the index.php file in it.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
