$servername = 'localhost';
$dbusername = 'root';
$dbpassword = '***********';
$dbname = '*********';
$technicalemail = 'manuel.reyes@e-mis.co.uk';
$usepconnect = 0;
$admincpdir = '****************-admincp';
$modcpdir = '****************-modcp';
$canviewadminlog = '1';
$canpruneadminlog = '1';
$canrunqueries = '';
$undeletableusers = '';
$superadministrators = '';
$tableprefix = '';
$cookieprefix = 'bb';

(I have remove comments and "sensitive" information)

I have then tried to launch the install script but I get a blank page whose source is :



I assume that I have missed something critical but after starting again from scratch I found the same problem.

Anybody got any ideas?

EDIT: After looking at the install.php script it looks like my problem might have something to do with :

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
$HTTP_ENV_VARS['PHP_SELF'];

both being null (used on line 60)

$admincpdir = '****************-admincp';
$modcpdir = '****************-modcp';

Should not be full url's if you can help it.

Also, did you set an OLD_PASSWORD for mysql 4.1.7
If you are using php5 do you have the correct mysql libarys to run mysql 4.1.7?
Did you enable xml?

All of these are nessary to run vBulletin in php5 with mysql 4.1
