I cannot install your forum.

I tried your forum. I have a xampp server on my windows xp computer (wich is working fine because I’ve tested a wordpress blog and a Joomla website) with the folllowing configuration:
Apache 2.2.12
PHP 5.3.0
MySQL 5.1.37
phpMyAdmin 3.2.0.1

Your master_config.inc.php has been changed to:
// Master config file

// Database parameters
$DB_LOCALHOST='localhost';
$DB_DATABASE='simpleforum';
$DB_USERNAME='root';
$DB_PASSWORD='';

// do not add slash, must include directory where scripts reside
$SITE_URL="http://localhost/forum";
$BASE_URL="/forum"; // set to empty string if installing in root folder
$SITE_NAME="My Forum";
$SESSION_NAME="myforum";
$SITEMAP_PER_PAGE=24;
$SITEMAP_LINK_TEXT="Sitemap";

Your .htaccess has been changed to:

# for discussion board

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^cat/([0-9]+)/(.+)$ forum/index.php?show=cat&id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/(.+)$ forum/index.php?show=post&id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(index([0-9]+).htm)$ forum/index.php?show=sitemap&id=$2 [L]

The database is called "simpleforum" and I run your sql on it.

All I got in the end is this error message:

Why?

Thank you in advance.

Re I cannot install your forum.

Re I cannot install your forum.

Your forum script is OK. The problem is the version of the XAMPP server used. I tried first XAMPP-win32-1.7.2 with PHP 5.3.x and I got those errors and then I installed the old version XAMPP-win32-1.7.1 with PHP 5.2.x.
The forum works fine with this.

Thanks for the script and for the reply.
