Installation successful

Sent by Anatoly

Hi Bernard, I asked for help with installation yesterday ('..can not pass 'please, create tables' step'). Thanks to your advice, my YACS is up and runnig. Just to tell you what I did:

- with a text parser, replaced in yacs directory all strings ['SMALLINT UNSIGNED DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT' to 'SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT'];

- edited control/setup.php file to include Type=MyISAM in the table create statement. Good for me, you have only one there ([...$query = 'CREATE TABLE '.table_name($table).' ( '; bla-bla-bla $query .= ' )#';], I added Type=MyISAM where # is shown).I do not know if that is right - I know nothing of PHP - but it works nicely.

- deleted htaccess file from installation; - deleted previous incomplete installation from my hosting; - deleted YACS database from MySQL; - created new YACS database; - uploaded modified and other YACS files to my hosting; - run the setup script.

Now all works fine. I will test it for a few days add some content and open it up. BTW, your server produces an error so I could not register to your Forum. BTW BTW, it would also be very nice to have some sort of global user-friendly ID to postings in the Forum so one could find a posting and REFER to it by an ID in a plain text.

Thanks again for your help.
