Error during installation

[henkbos]

Hi all,

Got the error below during installation. Any clues? I have not yet transferred my domain from my old ISP to the new one. Can that be the reason?
Double checked connect.php and that's fine (s far as I know). Tried to remove installation, but get an error that a certain directory not exists.

Noticed that this error was posted earlier and Pekka referred to PhP-manual. My ISP has PhP running and there is nothing I can check/change.

Suggestions?

Any one that can help me a little further. I can't telnet or start an SSH-session with this ISP and really want the enigine running.

Check that Apache's httpd.conf is properly set to run .php extension as php executable. Problem seems to be that PHP content is not interpreted (run) properly. Contact your ISP and ask if there is a configuration problem there.

There is a bug in PHP 4.2.3 which cuts 4 characters from some form input texts. That is why 4.2.2 or newest RC version is recommended. This bug affects e.g. path input input in EE. If you can't get your ISP to change PHP versions you can go around the bug simply by entering 4 dummy charachers in the front of the string. This is still not a very good workaround as it has to be done on all paths every time you want to save a change.
