MyBB Community Forums

I have uploaded MyBB 1.01 to my server. I am able to access the MyBB Installation Wizard at http://www.wendymae.com/harveycedarstax/forum/install/ . However, clicking on the Next button just reloads the page; it does not advance to the License Agreement page or any other page.

The server supports both PHP and MySQL.

All of the files that were in the "Upload" folder in the "mybb_1_01.zip" file were uploaded to http://www.wendymae.com/harveycedarstax/forum/ using FileZilla.

The permissions for
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php
./uploads
./uploads/avatars

were all set to 777 (Read, Write, and Execute for Owner, Group, and Public). I found that setting the permissions for the directories (./uploads and ./uploads/avatars) to 666 would not allow me to access these directories via FTP.

I uploaded the files to the server twice. The forum folder was deleted before uploading the second time.

I accessed the first Installation Wizard page in both Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6, but the problem appears in both.

Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

Are you able to upload a file called phpinfo.php or something similar with the contents:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Can you then provide a link to the file here.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

Thanks for responding.

To access phpinfo, please go to [].

Edit: removed the link to the file as Chris already saw it and it is not good for security to make everyone able to view files like those.

Okay, now that I have a theory, I need you to upload one more file if you can. This one needs to be placed in your MyBB directory ()

<?php
require "./inc/class_core.php";
$mybb = new MyBB;
echo "<h1>Diagnostics</h1>";
echo "<code><pre>";
print_r($mybb);
echo "</pre></code>";
echo "<hr />";
echo "<code><pre>";
print_r($_GET);
echo "</pre></code>";
echo "<hr />";
echo "<code><pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre></code>";
?>

Let me know the URL once it is done.

Regards,
Chris

Code:
<?php
require "./inc/class_core.php";
$mybb = new MyBB;
echo "<h1>Diagnostics</h1>";
echo "<code><pre>";
print_r($mybb);
echo "</pre></code>";
echo "<hr />";
echo "<code><pre>";
print_r($_GET);
echo "</pre></code>";
echo "<hr />";
echo "<code><pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre></code>";
?>

Chris,

Please access the above code at http://www.wendymae.com/harveycedarstax/...ostics.php .

Thanks again,

First, i'll say that the news isn't good. I should have noticed it earlier, but did not.

MyBB requires a minimum version of 4.1.0. Your host currently has 4.0.6 installed. 4.0.6 is a very old version (as you can see by the PHP Info, it was compiled in 2002). You can see now on http://php.net that the latest version is 5.1.1, or in the PHP 4 series, 4.4.1.

MyBB makes use of several features in newer versions of PHP from 4.1.0 onwards, and thus we're unable to support older versions of PHP

Why did we do this? Mainly because those versions are outdated, do not contain several features we need, and are full of security related problems at the same time.

What you'll need to do is try and contact your web host about this.

Sorry,
Chris

you spelled series wrong chris xD
