Ok, I tried to install the latest version then to realise I did not have the right php to do it, so I downloaded an earlier one, I kept on getting an error message each time I changed the last form, now I think I may have cracked it up this error comes up.

WARNING: Couldn't connect to www. freepgs.com on port 80
Socket Error #: 0
Socket Error Reason:

Warning: gzuncompress: data error in /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/adventures/FUDforum/install.php on line 317
Failed decompressing the archive.

Is there something I could do? Crying or Very Sad

EDIT: The port I think I need is 8021?

Thanks you

SECOND EDIT: I changed the install file so that it went like this.

WARNING: Couldn't connect to on port 8021
Socket Error #: 0
Socket Error Reason:

Warning: gzuncompress: data error in /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/adventures/FUDforum/install.php on line 317

I don't know what to do.

This is what is in my forms.

Server Root : /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/adventures/FUDforum/

Forum Data Root: /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/adventures/forum/

Forum WWW Root: http://www.freepgs.com/adventures/FUDforum/.

With the last one I normally get this message

Your WWW_ROOT does not correspond with the SERVER_ROOT path you have specified. (unable to retrive: http://www.freepgs.com/adventures/FUDforum/WWW_ROOT_CHECK, on disk as: /home/httpd/vhosts/freepgs.com/httpdocs/adventures/FUDforum/WWW_ROOT_CHECK, received: 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd ----------

sometimes I get passed that, but why I do I get the the other error message displayed eairlier in post.

Thank you for your help.

I believe your server maybe rejecting HTTP requests from itself, certain ISPs do that. The solution is to edit the install script and remove the check that ensures that the directories that you've specified during 1st install step are correct.

Find a line which says else if ( !$HTTP_GET_VARS['sfh'] ) { and delete everything from it till the } on the same level.

So instead of the code block that you have in between you'll only have if ( !$HTTP_GET_VARS['sfh'] ) { }

Nope, I do not have the older script. Either way I'd suggest you try installing 2.3.9RC1, which is really the latest stable release for that series of FUDforum.

I am not sure, I do believe that you'll need PHP 4.0.4+ to install FUDforum, but I honestly do not recall what are the requirements for such old versions.
