Hello i am stuck with XOOPS 2.3.2b installation. Step 8.

The installer has saved the specified settings to mainfile.php. Press next to go to the next step.


i hit NEXT then i get a blank page

.../install/page_tablescreate.php


is it because i have the database on remote server, not localhost?


Thank you in advance

Weird, mosttimes people get stuck at step 5.
Can you check if the resulting mainfile.php did contain the right paths and credentials for the database? If not you may try with setting it right before starting step 8.

Was the database created? Sometimes, you have no permissions to do this from within Apache. Create a database and user for it by hand.

In the mentioned thread, one with a remote SQL server prepared the installation on his local PC (with eg XAMPP) and then uploaded the result to his servers (site + db) and adapted mainfile.php manually to the changed environment.

Also, are you installing in english as an error in language files might create a blank page...

Thanks for the replies. I think it is because of the server. I asked the hosting company to change it as i couldn't install Vbulletin as well. There is open_basedir function disabled.

So I am waiting for them to act...
