Hey all,

I was browsing around on the net and came across this forum system, and I'd love to try it out; I'm currently running phpBB3 for my forum needs, and looking for something different.

I downloaded the latest release, extracted the two files required, made all the necessary directories and setup all the permissions, and was ready to go.  I use my browser to hit the install.php file and all I get are errors.  I did a search and found that someone else had complained about this earlier, but they were using a version of php that was untest, I don't seem to have that problem (I know they function as I am able to run other systems).

Here are the details for the system that I'm running this on, hopefully it's something simple:

Slackware Linux 10.1

Apache 2.2.8

PHP 5.2.5

MYSQL 5.0.24a

The error that I'm getting shows as follows:

extractData($filename);         if($ret>0)             $this->info('Wizard ready.
 
Start Installation Wizard
');         else             exit;     }          function throwError($e)         {                 ?>                  "http://forums.aforest.ca/%27.$redirect.%27">                "red">                                                   ';         print $msg.$lf."
";         ob_flush();         flush();     }      function extractData($filename)     {         $this->info(" Welcome to NBBS!
I am now going to try and uncompress the data file.
If I fail, and you see strange error messages being displayed, it is for one of two reasons:
1. Either you have not changed the access rights of the directory where I am running,
   allowing the web server to write new files,
2. Or this server is running PhpSuExec (ask your host!) and it does not like self-extracting scripts.
   If this is the case, you are going to have to install NBBS the old standard way:
   2.1. On your personal computer, rename install.data to install.zip
   2.2. Uncompress install.zip
.....etc.....
 

When I mouse over the text, it looks like it wants to send me to <server>/'.$redirect.'

I've tried to load this page with Firefox3 and IE6.  Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks!
