[support] Install script does not appear

[Ron Siven]

Yes, I get a bunch of PHP Warnings and Notices about files not existing, etc.

At the very end of the error log, I see this:
[Sun Feb 04 22:06:47 2007] [error] [client 192.168.2.102] PHP Fatal error:  
Call to undefined function block_list() in /var/www/html/includes/theme.inc 
on line 1013
[Sun Feb 04 22:06:47 2007] [error] [client 192.168.2.102] PHP Fatal error:  
Unknown: Cannot find save handler users in Unknown on line 0

I got rid of the second one by changing session.save_handler = users to 
session.save_handler = files

the block_list() one still eludes me, though. 

Regarding the AddType line, I have to apologize because I cut and pasted from 
teh original email, and someone had already pointed that out.  So, it's 
actually 
	AddType  text/html .shtml .php

I also tried your variation as well.

When I add the error_reporting code to install.php, nothing happens.  Firefox 
still tries to download the file rather than display it.  If I add it to 
index.php, nothing happens either, although firefox does not try to download 
it.

Here it is, did I do it right?

*snip*

<?php
// $Id: install.php,v 1.34 2007/01/10 10:15:07 unconed Exp $
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
require_once './includes/install.inc';

/**
 * The Drupal installation happens in a series of steps. We begin by verifying
 * that the current environment meets our minimum requirements. We then go
 * on to verify that settings.php is properly configured. From there we
 * connect to the configured database and verify that it meets our minimum
 * requirements. Finally we can allow the user to select an installation
 * profile and complete the installation process.
 *
 * @param $phase
 *   The installation phase we should proceed to.
 */
function install_main() {
  global $profile, $install_locale;
  require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';

*end snip*

One more thing,  when I go to the base url, and get a blank page, I go to view 
the source for the page, and it's blank as well.



I'm thinking that this is all caused by messed up settings in php.ini.  You?
