Hi,

I just tryed to install FUDforum on my server;
My server use PHP safe mode
all installation steps (5 of 5) are succeeded but after 5. step I get this message:
unable to make directory for this theme (/home/virtual/site44/fst/var/www/html/forum/FUDforum2/data//include/theme/ )

look at the double / before include (.../data//include/...)
I think this is a bug in your install script.

How to correct it?

Double // is not a problem on any UNIX system, any number of // can be used without a problem.

Can you please tell me what are the permissions on the /home/virtual/site44/fst/var/www/html/forum/FUDforum2/data/include
directory and is the webserver the owner of the directory?

included directory and all sub-contents are 777
(except GLOBALS.php = 600)

owner of this dir (also all sub content) is apache (web server)
all these dirs and files are created well by install.php

My PHP version is 4.1.2

I was able to replicate and solve the bug.

Attached is the patched installation script, it worked for me on 4.1.2, please try it and let me know if it works for you as well.
