Install problem with SMF1.1.2

[virtualdave]

MySQL 4.0.16 running on localhost This is what is running on the server.

Oddly, I have a test forum with TP successfully installed, running on another server and the MYSQL version is, MySQL 4.0.16 running on localhost. The test forum and tiny portal versions are as follows.

Powered by SMF 1.1.1 | SMF Ã,© 2006, Simple Machines LLC
TinyPortal v0.9.7 Ã,© Bloc

No takers. OK, here are lines 551, 552 and 553 of Packages.php

   // Now include the file and be done with it .
            require($boarddir . '/Packages/temp/' . $context['base_path'] . $action['filename']);
         }

Any observations?

sql != php ...

Ha Ha! I laugh at my dyslexic=self. So, I have now found out that my PHP version is "We support mysql and php version 5 on our shared servers" Ipowerweb Hosting. Where to now?

hmn -- so they might have an old php 4 version running but an actual php 5 ? maybe you have to parse the php files with php5 by setting an addtype in a htaccess ?

dunno - every hoster has it's own way how things work or not.. sorry

New question: given the situation it dosen't seem prudent to attempt to do a manual install or am I just a pessimist?

It would seem to me that given the version of php, if that is the problem, then you either need a new host or for them to upgrade. A manual install will not fix that.

So, "we support php5" isn't the same thing as having php5 installed on the server? I thought the answer I got would have ruled out a php/server problem?

Like I said before Dave. I went the 1.1.1 and 9.7.1 TP on it. I can't say for sure if it is php related or not. I actually installed a test site today that way. It went easy as pie... Maybe try a test setup in a different directory and DB just to rule out the php or version issue. If you can get 1.1.1 up without issues then it is either 1.1.2 or a corrupted file. Thats my take so far.
