When I go through the Forum I see Installation Problems all over... The unlucky part is that I have them Too. The installer just does Not Work. I start to ask me "Why do the Developers not give out the files in an .zip Extractable Archive, and let users upload them themselves" This would probably solve many problems people are getting ...

I have Uploaded the non Zlib Compressed Installer as tar.gz , Extracted them directly on the Commandline on my ISP. Went to the Install.php in the Browser and got the Following.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=6) state=1 in /home/www/basic/account/forum/install.php on line 33707

Parse error: parse error in /home/www/basic/account/forum/install.php on line 33707
-------------------------------------------------------------

Periode End of the Story. There was no Programm involved which could change anything when It was decrompressed. I mean the Linux Tar command would not alter anything of the Code wouldn't it ?

so what can I do now ???

Download another Forum and just leave Fudforum as an uninstallable Option ???

isn't there a link where you can download the whole files as just files in an archive or so, and do a manual installation.. maybe it would work then...

The md5sum of a file, can be obtained this way:

md5sum [filename]

Please generate md5sum both of the tar.gz file & the install.php files.

md5sum fud.tar.gz
5b2bc9d565399f566c862667dec2b6e3 fud.tar.gz

md5sum install.php
e861a165e86faab263ade65e1e3cd67e install.php

hope this helps
(I renamed the Installfile to fud.tar.gz just because I was to lazy to type in the whole name.. this should however not affect anything I guess)

The md5sums are correct, you have the correct files, I've downloaded the installer just now and can confirm the files are correct. However, my PHP finds nothing wrong with the install script and happily runs it.
(You can check validity of the script by running "php -l install.php").

Which PHP version are you using, are you using Apache sapi or cgi?

This just to notity I have exacly the same problem on my system.
The md5's are exacly the same as the poster abowe.
I did install 2.3.8 in the past with no problem.

Also the lastest 2.6.0 build (rc6) does not has this problem, but that one failes wgen verifying it's own integrity (probaby a mistake in the md5 self-check or so)

I gave apache 1.3.26 and php 4.2.2

There is no mistake in the md5 check. How did you decompress the install script? I suspect something in this process modified the install script and caused the problem you are seeing.

Hi,

I have the same problem. Installation works on a machine with this php info:

Its the same file, most recent version of FUD.
I tried an older version of FUD with the same result.

hi,

I took the latest stable release and i took an older one and both resulted in

Quote:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=31) state=1 in /kunden/dpsgbergischland.de/webseiten/FUDforum2/install.php on line 924

This is for release 2.3.9 i think for the latest stable release the linenumber is bigger.

But now i tried the RC6 and *yeah* it works.

What does this teach me? "Every time try the latest version before bothering the developers!"

Thanks for your quick answer.

Peter
