Congratulations, you meet the requirements to run MyBB.

Click Next to continue with the installation process.

anyone?

In install/index.php, find:

$db->error_reporting = 0;

Replace with:

$db->error_reporting = 1;

See if that reveals any errors.

i found it in line 636 (if that helps), made the change...tried again and got this:

Quote:MyBB SQL Error
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1193 - Unknown system variable 'NAMES'
Query:
SET NAMES 'utf8'
Please contact the MyBB Group for support.

thank you for working on holiday weekends. ;]
