[ScruffyDeluxe]

I'm having major gripes regarding the installation of VBIndex phrases, and timeouts. The installer creates the groups for the phrases, but inserts no phrases into the group, yet the installer seems to go without any errors (besides a non-fatal one about SCRIPT_EXTENSION already being defined).
I tried using vbiupgraded.php?step=10 to import the phrases, also tried importing them via the phrase manager. Both methods manage to exceed the maximum execution time of 30 seconds. This is especially frustrating, as I've modified settings in php.ini and httpd.conf to try and increase the timeout limit, to no avail.

In a last-ditch attempt I appended vBIndex's phrases to vbulletin-language.xml and reinstalled everything. Once again, the phrase groups show up, but they are empty. I can still use vBIndex, and even managed to configure it by looking at the input label names in the HTML source, but y'know... I can't use this on my site in it's current state :ermm:

Oh, and here's some info about my 'rig'. Hope you can stop me wanting to smash it. Thanks.

vBulletin 3.0.0 RC4
Apache/1.3.24 (While checking phpinfo(); this reported the timeout as 90 secs)
PHP 4.3.3
MySQL 3.23.49 (phpinfo(); reported the timeout here as -1 secs, which I believe is infinity)

Running on localhost using EasyPHP1.7 under Windows98 SE.
