While installing PostNuke, I ran into the language loop. I set REGISTER_GLOABALS to Yes. Now the langugage selection works... Then the license page is displayed. However, when clicking the Next button, it returns to the langugage selection screen.
Any suggestions?
NB: A search for "language" "license" yielded no useful results. Please direct my to any relivant posts if this is not a new issue.

I also have this problem. Fact is that the POST data somehow gets lost and therefore PostNuke won't continue.
Actually I think it's due to this PHP bug:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22427
(Vote for it there to make it more popular and get the PHP devels to fix it)
As per the description of that bug, the POST data sometimes get lost (I see that when I select the language and get dropped back to the exact same screen again) and when there's much data to post it always gets lost (which is the case for the license screen).
As a workaround you can do the following: Edit the file install/gui.php and comment out this line(just put // in front of it) ... that way, the license agreement won't get printed which makes the textarea field way smaller (completely empty actually) and gets PHP to pass on the other parameters via POST. Unfortunately this doesn't fix the initial bug and you WILL have trouble using PostNuke on your webserver (example: Can't save the PostNuke settings because there's too much form data on that page, intermittent POST failures, ...).Code
include("docs/COPYING.txt");
I really hope PHP gets fixed soon, this is a very annoying bug.
