Topic: Just tried to install and this error...

Just treied to install and got this error...
"The file 'config.php' doesn't exist or is corrupt. Please run install.php to install PunBB first." this was after installing.

I upload the confi.php file exactly as instructed:

<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'xx';
$db_username = 'xx';
$db_password = 'xx;
$db_prefix = '';
$p_connect = false;

$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
$cookie_seed = '849ec713';

define('PUN', 1);

THats the complete file as given - I've XX 'ed password etc but they were entered correctly.
It was upload in ASCII...
Any suggestions please?

If you're sure you've created the config.php file correctly in your root forum dir, then I'd say check permissions on the file.

make sure it's a .php file and not a .php.txt file.
