I've tried installing a fresh install of .763 three times now. I have also downloaded a fresh copy of the install, erased everything on my server, including databases to insure I had a clean slate and reinstalled the new files and re-ran the install script. Everthing goes fine until I get this message:

Please refer to the installation guide during this process

I've done all that I know what to do - any ideas?

I tried this and it did not work for me either.

My host is currently running MySQL version 3.23.58.

What else could be causing this issue?

I am not running MySql 5 on my server either. Any other issues - others seem to be installing this just fine - nothing has changed except an upgrade to the phpMyAdmin, from 2.63 to 2.70 versions. Everything else for me is the same as when I installed (successfully) PN .762.

I'm now officially frustrated. I have all the requirements for PN and have downloaded three separate downloads of PN .763. I've uploaded and deleted, started over, I have the correct versions of MySQL and phpMyAdmin and yet when I try to run the install script, I get to the point as shown in my first post. I'm so baffled that I've been able to install .762 fine, but .763 keeps blowing up!

- what's your exact mysql version (see e.g. phpMyAdmin)
- please drop an URL to your phpinfo()

mySQL version 4.0.1.6
phpMyAdmin 2.7.0
PHP 4.1.1

I checked with my webhost provider, they do offer mySQL version 5.0, but I'd have to move my entire site to a new server - what a pain! Is it worth it to have version 5.0 in anyone's opinion?

Thanks,

I am getting the same message. I am just trying to install it on the local drive before I upgrade the website. Truly, PostNuke leads to so much trouble and guesswork that I am thinking of switching to some other CMS. Mumbo?

I listen.

please provide informations about your mysql-version and the PHP-settings (especially about register_globals)

mysql was 4.0.17-Nt (I reliase I would need at least 4.1, when I glanced through what I had, it seemed like 4.1+, it isn't....I am in the process of installing mysql 5.0 now). I hope that takes me a bit further..

I listen.

Ammodump, your post was useful. I upgraded to mysql 5.0, set the mode just as you have detailed in your link, and ran the install script. Bingo. Thanks a bottle of beer.

I listen.

Don't thank me, thank Mark West, the author. I just manage information (Mostly).

Ammodump, why do I get 0 unlooged users and 0 unregistered users when I first visit the home page? A refresh sets things alright though.

I listen.

I remember a discussion about this months ago, though i cannot find it at the moment.

It has to do, IIRC, with the timing of when that block checks for logged/registered users.

I wonder if the behavior changes if you move that block to a right block?

At any rate, I believe it is a known issue.
