Please try the change you see here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/evocms/b2evolution/blogs/install/index.php?r1=1.22.2.17&r2=1.22.2.18&only_with_tag=v-0-9

This is a fix I've made after someone came up with some similar problem.

If this works, there are also some other places where I've fixed the same thing (links not starting directly with "?").

Let me know and I'll find you those - if you cannot do it yourself with the link provided above (which is our CVS).

If this should be the problem, I'd be very interested of course into more details:
What browsers have you tried?
Are you using IIS? (which version)
What's the exact error?
Is there something in the web server's error log?
Are you using some proxy?
...

Good luck.. :)

That link is giving me a Proxy Error


Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /viewcvs.py/evocms/b2evolution/blogs/install/index.php.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

To answer your previous questions... IE6, IIS6, No Proxy

Ill step by step my problem....

I run index.php. The "Base Configuration" screen pops up. I fill in some general info about my SQL server using localhost as "mySQL Host" I click on "Update Config File". It takes me to another page:"Installer for version 0.9.0.11". The title banner is there, as well as the following links: Install Menu - PHP info - Go to Blogs - Go to Admin - Manual - Support
Also, the locale/language selection is visable on the right. Other than that, there is NOTHING on the page. It appears the page is not loading correctly. If I click on the "Go To Blogs" link, it tells me I "cannot use the application before ou finish configuration and installation." "Base configuration is not done"

Here is mySQL server error log:

It seems I neglected to compile the mySQL dll's into PHP.
So, I have a fully functional and mySQL compatible version of PHP4 with a running instance of mySQL5. A user and password has been set up for the database, and the server is localhost. When I input this information into setup, I get this message:

MySQL error!

Error establishing a database connection!

Are you sure you have typed the correct user/password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?

It would seem the application cant find the database, or can't log in for some reason.
Any Ideas?

I seem to have made some progress. It seems all I had to do was delete the current user and re-establish the user account. So I go to create my blog using "New Install", and I run into this error:

MySQL error!

Field 'user_firstname' doesn't have a default value(Errno=1364)

Your query:
INSERT INTO evo_users (user_login, user_pass, user_nickname, user_email, user_ip, user_domain, user_level, user_locale, dateYMDhour, user_grp_ID) VALUES ('admin', '90f93c072f3948d59bc1276028ea3bf5', 'admin', 'postmaster@localhost', '127.0.0.1', 'localhost', 10, 'en-US', '2006-03-15 07:37:47', 1)

I really have no idea what this means. Any Ideas?
