Installation can't get past the first screen

Hi,

I've been trying to install the script on a hosting server but I can't seem to get past the first installation screen. Clicking "next" just sends me right back to the language selection screen. I digged into the forum and found out this problem can occur with PHP5, however, my ISP is running PHP4 and I don't know what else I can try.

I would appreciate any ideas.

Does your broswer accept cookies? It seems that it is not.

Yes my browser accepts cookie. Thanks for your input, tho.

I added the following lines to the index.php

$content .= "post:";
$content .= $_post['op'];
$content .= "get:";
$content .= $_get['op'];

and it seems that the script is unable to get any post or get information from the botton submit. This is definately a server-side issue. Any thoughts?

I also added this script to display php info if needed.

Sorry, just a guess and don't know what else to suggest.

It seems the server is not taking any get or post arguments. I wrote this simple test script to test this theory.

<html>
<head><title>PHP Form submit test</title></head>
<body>
<?php
$testpost=$HTTP_POST_VARS['test'];
$testget=$HTTP_GET_VARS['test'];
echo "test post variable is $testpost<br>";
echo "test get variable is $testget";
?>
</body>
</html>

and the result shows none of the HTTP variables are passed to the script.

Any PHP or Apache experts know how this could have happened?

Hi swmagazine, all,

Any luck on this problem? I am having the same probs and cannot find a solution anywhere - driving me nuts!! I'll post back if I do happen to find something.

Cheers,
Sido

If neither $HTTP_GET_VARS nor $_GET works, then something is really messed up with the webserver (is my guess - I'm not a server wizard)

I have never encountered anything like that.

We're seeing this problem as well. Attempting a new install of XOOPS 2.0.7.3 (full download version) on:

Apache 2.0.49
PHP 5.0.2
Win2K (patched current)
MySQL 4.0.18

The Apache error log is reporting:

PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant XOOPS_ROOT_PATH - assumed 'XOOPS_ROOT_PATH' in X:\\Program Files\Apache Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\header.php on line 28

[Note: I've changed the drive letter from actual in the example above, but the CORRECT drive letter for our installation is being reported]

There are many subsequent errors, but all appear to be related to the first occuring error listed above. Has anyone had any luck in solving this?
