Installation won't proceed
I was hoping someone would be able to help me with the following problem;
I have uploaded all the files to the host, and followed the exact instructions from the'How to get your Oekaki up and Running!' For Newbs topic.
When I click "run the installer", it shows up perfectly fine.
I fill out the entire thing, which I'm not quite sure of if everything is correct (because, let's face it, I'm a newb), but when I click the "submit" button at the bottom of the page, I don't proceed to another/next page, but the page just seems to refresh.
Could this be because I didn't fill out something correctly, or because something else is wrong?
If you could help me, I'd be very grateful! Thank you!
EDIT: This is a fresh install of Wacintaki Poteto 1.3.4. The website I use for hosting is http://nikkiaino.ni.funpic.org/

Re: Installation won't proceed
Sadil, I tried your suggestion, but I'm afraid it didn't help me. Thank you anyway for trying!
I've tried re-uploading, a freshly downloaded version, with both SmartFTP (the application I first used) and CoreFTP, to make sure it wasn't the application that caused the problems.
So, I hope someone has some other solutions I could try out!

Re: Installation won't proceed
I don't know how Wacoon has this set up, but perhaps the install script dumped the table schema and starting data (or whatever you call it) into your database and it just refreshes the page upon completing that. If there were errors, the script would of told you methinks.
Have you tried deleting your install file only and see what happens?

Re: Installation won't proceed
Hmm... I did a submit trace, and all the information seems to be sent to the server properly, but it just won't process anything.
I made a change to the installer. Try this one and see if it works.

I got the same thing way back when my oekaki started.. (three weeks ago xD)
Mmmm, maybe the database pass was wrong...
But for total recall, re-upload the files!
It will give an error if that's the case - i.e. if a required field is empty, it'll give you an error. All their script does however is refresh the page, not giving an error when there should be one. ^^; I suggested a re-upload before and it didn't help either...
I think Waccoon fixed it now though.

Re: Installation won't proceed
I'm actually having the exact same problem too. I used the same tutorial, and the page just doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've tried putting in the new installer, but that doesn't seem to have done anything either. If someone could figure out how to fix this, I would be really grateful.

Re: Installation won't proceed
Just a hunch: try installing the board but leaving the "Title" and "Author Name" fields blank. You can update them later in the control panel.
If the installer just refreshes but doesn't seem to do anything, submitted information is somehow getting lost. This is sometimes caused by a word filter or some other security measure on the server.

I'm having the same problem. I tried all of the suggestions but to no avail.... (re-upload files, new installer, leaving fields blank, etc...)

Re: Installation won't proceed
Did you guys try that new installer? I made another change to it today.
Installer for 1.3.5
If this doesn't work (small change to POST data), chances are the server is just ignoring the submissions, because it works fine on my server as well as my test machine at home.

Re: Installation won't proceed
Yes, problems with FunPic are piling up. However, the installer itself should work fine if there are no keywords being flagged by the server as spam.
I sure hope words like "localhost" aren't being filtered. That would make it impossible to install forums and stuff on their servers, and they supposedly allow PHP scripts to access mySQL databases.
This bums me out. FunPic was a really good host for a while.
