trouble with vbulletin installation.. is it php's fault?

[Locke]

Okey I'm new to this, I just recieved my copy of vbulletin 2.0.0 the other day.

I used a precompiled version of mySQL and php from this site

Yup I'm using Mac OS 10.1.5 now. However, when i run the install.php in the admin folder and click next, the address changes accordingly BUT the page remains stagnant. This is in IE 5.2. Any ideas? I don't think it's the vbulletin files that are at error. Anyone have any ideas on what to do? Thanks.

Just out of curiousity where did you get your copy of vB 2.0.0?

[Locke]

Well I offered to help someone to debug/hack a site he has. More to learn about it than anything else. So he sends me an old copy of vB 2.0.0 and asks me to play around with it for a little while to get used to how it runs and works first. So yea... i haven't gotten to him yet give me a little bit more.

That copy of vB is illegal. If you want to use vBulletin you will need to purchase your own copy.
