Re: Encountered error when installing PunBB (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.4 troubleshooting)
Thanks for your replay.
I didn't expect to receive a response so quick. The reason why it happened was because groups has become a reserved keyword in MYSQL 8. The solution is kinda obvious, I have to rename all instances of groups to groups1 or something. Considering how many times groups appears in the installation files it's going to take a long time to make it work properly. I also encountered another error with the ranks table. Still figuring out how to fix this. Also is it possible to release a new version of PunBB with these issues fixed?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
I encountered the following error while installing PunBB. It's surprising because it says there is syntax error in in the installation file.
Sorry! The page could not be loaded.
This is probably a temporary error. Just refresh the page and retry. If problem continues, please check back in 5-10 minutes.

I am using Ubuntu 20. I have installed PHP, sql-server and apache2.
Thanks for your help in advance.
