Hmm… well it’s not crashing outright according to GDB, so I can only imagine it’s encountering a fatal error along the installation process.
Update: It’s dying on the line that reads $install->load(); However, it doesn’t toss an error when it does so. Interesting. It does not crash there, however, if I modify it to be passed two empty strings as parameters.
I went ahead and decided to try installing phpBB 3 on PHP 5.3.0RC2 running CGI. The initial build of PHP 5.3.0RC2 went incredibly smoothly, and only a handful of tests failed when I ran `make test.` Got it installed in my web server’s chroot environment and phpinfo runs fine. (After accidentally configuring CGI to use the CLI binary, hehe.)
After that phpBB3 however it gives me the white screen of death when I try progressing into installation. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get an error message out of it. I’ll try to get some discernibly useful information from it in the coming days. I suspect it’s crashing but the chroot doesn’t have direct access to debug tools, so I may need to set it up elsewhere first.
I’ve decided to get an account with Amazon S3 – Simple Storage Service. It seems like it could be fairly handy if I wanted to host anything remotely large or requested frequently. Hmm… I plan to doing some stuff about the Touhou game, Immaterial and Missing Power, maybe I’ll try it out with that. Theoretically, I could also use it to store backups of my photos and such, at 0.15 cents per month per GB of storage, it’s not bad.
