Hello,

just tried the brand new 2.5. It copies itselves to the _save
variant and creates the directory but nothing else happens.

Seems to call itselves instead of install_save:
<form name="install" action="<?php echo basename(__FILE__) . '?' . rand(); ?>" method="post">

Thanx for help,
pz

Hmmm I take it you have safe_mode enabled?

Yes.

But I have had problems with the older versions (2.3.8 and below), too.
Pretty sure that it is the providers fault, but he's already
nerved by me and I just can't figure out what's happening
there. That's why I'd like to check with you first, if you
allow.

(Note: The following text belongs to 2.3.8)
Exciting the installation before decompress_archive() gave
me two dirs which *seems* to be owned by wwwrun/www *but*
can be deletet by me via ftp. Exciting *after* this function
I have had everything in place, but still was able to delete
numerous files via ftp.

Trying two different PHP-based file managers, I was able to
delete a lot more, and even a number of directories. What
was left and not deletable either via ftp nor phpCommander
(or any other PHP-Filemanager, that is):

SERVER_ROOT (ftest2/ which is drwxr-xr-x wwwrun/www)
  adm/
  help/
  images/
  styles/

(all of which are drwxrwxrwx wwwrun/www and empty
after deletion as noted above)
  blink.gif
  lib.js
  php.php
(with -rw-rw-rw wwwrun/www)

SERVER_DATA_ROOT (ftest2data/ which is drwxr-xr-x wwwrun/www)
  cache/
  errors/
  include/
  scripts/
  sql/
  src/
  thm/

(all of which are drwxrwxrwx wwwrun/www and empty
after deletion as noted above)

I hope you can help me to spot the problem so I'm able to
tell my provider what's wrong with his setup.

The url for the 2.5 installation is
http://eel.at/fudforum/install.php.
I'm able to provide you an FTP-Account for that dir, if
that could help in any way.

regards and best wishes,
Peter Zanner

My replies are based on the 2.5.0 code, so please treat them as such.

Here is the current situation

You have a directory "/home/www/web170/html/fudforum", now you cannot install the forum into this directory because of safe_mode limitation. So, what you'll need to do is create another directory where the installer will be able to create files & directories.
For example:
you create a directory /home/www/web170/html/f and chmod it 777,
then you specify /home/www/web170/html/f/forum/ as the Server Root & Forum Data Root.
Once you click 'next', the following will happen, the install script will create directory /home/www/web170/html/f/forum/ and then make a copy of itself called install_safe.php. It'll then redirect you to that copy, which will try to create the rest of the forum's files inside /home/www/web170/html/f/forum/.
Once that is done you'll proceed with the usual installation steps.
