Well I've been working on installing XOOPS now for several hours, have been trawling through the docs and forums and still have made no progress with this problem. I've successfully installed XOOPS 3 or 4 times on other machines and have a production site running, yet this one has me stumped!
THE PROBLEM: Install is all fine up until the "confirm database settings" step. Green lights all the way. Then I go to the "Check database" step and I get a blank page (the html is this (replace curly brackets with triangle brackets): Quote:
{html}{body}{/body}{/html}
I log onto the database I've created and it shows an "empty set". No error message and no indication of what's gone wrong.
WHAT I'M USING: PHP4.3 / MySQL 4.0.3 (nb: was 4.1, but downgraded when I saw a forum post that suggested this might be the problem. i purged everything before reinstalling) / XOOPS 2.0.10 / Debian Linux (Sarge) / Apache 1.3
This is a freshly installed server, so I haven't had time to do anything exotic with its configuration

, except that I've set up an Quote:
Alias /var/www/xoops/html /bcwa
in httpd.conf for this site until I setup the sites domain. This shouldn't be a problem though because I've done this on a testing site twice before and it worked. But this is all I can think of to provide info for anyone trying to debug this.
Help appreciated.
