I'm trying to get 2.10 installed on my localhost server, which is php 5.0.27, and i get a 400 error. When I point to [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] , It changes it to [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] , and gives the 400 error. Guess it's time to try the ole phpmysql using the included sql files....

Hmmmm. I just installed it on PHP 5.2.21 and it installed without any problems.

There must be something in your PHP setup causing this. This is working just fine for me on PHP 5.2.1. Unfortunately, I have not encountered this or anything like it, so I am not much help. Sad

Sorry.

On all my sites on my localhost php5 server....it doesnt seem to like the <? statement in .php files, it HAS to be <?php , I have no clue if it's the way my server is setup or what....

It's how your server is set up. Your setup doesn't allow short tags. Unfortunately this will cause you other issues also. To correct this, in your root level .htaccess file, add this line at the top.

PHP_FLAG short_open_tag 1

That should take care of it.

Welp, I already did a manual install. I did however find this setting in my php.ini file, and now the install and setup programs seem to work. I didn't go very far, as I have it installed already, but looks like it works. However, my Short Links still do not work. Obveously no biggie as I can just leave that option off, however would be nice to have. I'm assuming all these issues I'm having are related to my local web server setup, and that if I were to u/l to my hosting company, all would work. I sure would like to see everything work on my localhost b4 i send it to my web host tho.

Thanx for the help thus far...

slick_303, be sure to read the manual regarding ShortLinks. 9 times out of 10 it is because you have not copied over the statements from ShortLinks.htaccess into .htaccess. If you still find issues with it, there is a specific forum here to post in.

You are correct, that is the issue. However, as soon as I add the stuff from ShortLinks.htaccess into .htaccess, my site stops working altogether.

Have you checked your server Error Log to see why it stops?

I have looked, only because you brought it up. Wink

This is what I get in my apache error log...

[Mon Mar 12 16:04:05 2007] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] D:/newRoot/RavenNuke_2.10/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

It appears that your host doesn't have the Apache Rewrite module installed. Run phpinfo and verify that mod_rewrite is installed.

And that's why you get the big bucks....

Thanks for the "assist" Raven! Wink

I only get on the boards about once per day...

I have also added to Guardian's Sticky here on a little trick Raven showed me long back on how to not make sure its installed, but how to make sure it actually is working:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
