Re: Install.php broken?!
The negative picture count is a bug that's been in the board for a while. I'll track down the extra subtraction sooner or later. 
A lot of things can cause upload errors, the most common of which is the SocketPermission error, which affects the latest version of Java. If the person who is having upload issues is using Firefox, tell them to try another browser, like IE or Opera. Firefox and Java 6 don't get along that well, and MANY applets across the Internet are having issues. Until Sun releases a patch for Java, the only workaround is to not use Firefox. Other submission problems can be caused by server settings, but if only a small number of people are having upload issues, most likely it is the web browser or Java that is the issue. Trying a different web browser is a good idea.

Re: Install.php broken?!
Hi,
Wanted to mention that there actually is a way to work around the SocketPermission error for those who really want to use Firefox. Several members of my board, myself included have used it. These are the instructions I send to members who request it:
-----------------------------------------
Workaround for Firefox java bug
1. First, let’s verify which version of java you are using. In the Firefox address window, enter about:plugins then go to that address. You will see a list of installed plugins for your Firefox browser. Check the list for a Java plugin. It should look something like:
Java Plug-in 1.6.0_03 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
This example shows java version 1.6.0_03. The bug is reported to affect versions
1.5.0_r14 through 1.6.0_r3. If you are showing one of these versions, proceed with the following instructions. If not, email me and let me know which version you are using.
2. We need to add a line to your java permissions file. Find this file by going to:
Start -> My Computer -> Local Disc (C:) -> Program Files -> Java -> then click on the folder of the java version which you checked in step one. -> lib -> security. You should see a file called java POLICY File. (Save an unmodified copy of this file somewhere where you can find it if you need it.) Right-click on this file and open with Notepad. You’ll see a bunch of info about permissions. Go to the very end of this where you see };
3. Copy and paste the following line just before the };
permission java.net.SocketPermission "12.12.121.212:80-", "listen, accept, connect, resolve";
So the end of the file should look like:
"read"; permission java.net.SocketPermission "12.12.121.212:80-", "listen, accept, connect, resolve"; };
Leave space before and after the line as shown.
Save the file, and you should be all set!
----------------------------------------------------
(replace the 12.12.121.212 with your site's ip - which you will find in the java error message itself if you don't know it)

Re: Install.php broken?!
Actually I'm having problems with this. I was running the install when I got the error messages listed below. Any ideas? I also did what the member that started this thread had done and no success. Help please!
Warning: main(language/english.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /install.php on line 55
Warning: main(language/english.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /install.php on line 55
Warning: main(): Failed opening 'language/english.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /install.php on line 55
Please note I did remove some of the information from the error message since I wasn't sure if it was needed.
It's a fresh install of Wacintaki Poteto 1.3.11

Re: Install.php broken?!
It's unusual that PHP can't read files that have been uploaded to the server. Normally, only trying to write files causes problems.
Did you change permissions of the "/language" folder after uploading it? You need to change the permissions of the "/templates" and "/resource" folders, but the language and smilies folders can be left alone.
Try deleting them from the server and re-uploading them. That will flush out any odd permissions. If that doesn't work, you might have to make the folders writable to make them readable (web servers can have weird security policies at times). So, if just re-uploading the folders doesn't work, CHMOD the folders to 775 and try again.
If you're having more trouble, tell me which FTP program you're using. Also, in a web browser, can you navigate to the language folder and see the files within? If the web browser gives you a 403 Forbidden error, we'll have to clear that up, first.
