Hi,
I would like to try out FUDforum. I get through setting up the database and admin user, but I get the following message:

FATAL ERROR: anonymous user's ID must be 1!

This is regardless of if I run the installer from the browser or Linux command line (dropping the tables between each attempt). I have encountered similar issues with other forums, and it was solved by going into the database and setting ID for the user mentioned in the error to the ID mentioned in the error; this doesn't seem to work, and I tried going through all the tables for FUDforum. This normally happens because my webhost uses a strange auto-increment value, the forums required a specific value for a certain user. The database server for my webhost is running MySQL 5.1.50. I am using PHP 5.3.6 and apache 2.2.19. Currently, changing hosts isn't an option to get rid of the auto-increment -- the webhost space is donated to the project I work with (Ark Linux) and none of us have enough money to pay for another one. You get what you pay for, right? Smile

I managed to work around this by opening the install.php file in a text editor and modifying it to insert the correct id, as opposed to not inserting an id for the anonymous user.
