Post subject: [Solved!] Localhost Installation Problem

Hi everybody!!
I'm approaching this beautiful board and thinking about updating my phpBB2 Forum to the last Icy Phoenix relase.
However i wolud like to test it a little before installing Icy Phoenix on my db, so i tried to install it on my PC first. I used xampp activating Apache and MySql, then unzipped icyphoenix and set this url to start the installation: http://localhost/icyphoenix/
When i installed phpBB2 everything was right but this time i recived a server error and couldn't start the installation.
Can enybody help me out please??

Greetings

What localhost are you using phpbb is more forgiving then IP on specs, I run it easily on localhost but I had to upgrade from abyss(a web server that is easy to use but not very powerful) to apache2triad (an apache distro that is easier to use than apache on its own but is slower). Also Icy only supports MySQL so if you were using a different database (such as Access) it will not work.

i recommend you to use AppServ it is the best wamp i ever come across http://www.appservnetwork.com/

just download and install and thats it you dont need to do anything else and it works the best too

when you install the icy phoenix ... i am not sure if the .htaccess that cuase the server error when you installing, but just double check to make sure

Hi tonyf12, Xampp can use PHP 5.0.3 + 4.3.10 + PEAR + Switch MiniPerl 5.8.3.

Try to remove the .htaccess file and then install.

No problemo...i was in the same situation as you....

but instead of deleting it altogether....open it with wordpad and delete some lines and keep this:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

ErrorDocument 400 /errors.php?code=400

ErrorDocument 401 /errors.php?code=401

ErrorDocument 403 /errors.php?code=403

ErrorDocument 404 /errors.php?code=404

ErrorDocument 500 /errors.php?code=500

php_value memory_limit 16M

These are useful stuff...
