Hello,
When you create your ISO did you verify the checksum. You might have a partialy installed sme. Also check if you have multiple hard disk. If you have tree and one is damaged you will maybe miss the information related to php.ini.
Make a small verification of your CD rom. It might also be wrongly connected.
What kind of machine are you using ?
I did compare tiki with postnuke and postnuke is more easy to work with.
STEP 1: Create the ibay
Go to the server-manager and create a new ibay called "postnuke", for example
STEP 2: Create database and user
Create mysql database
# mysqladmin -u root create postnuke
# mysql -u root mysql
mysql> INSERT INTO user (host,user,password,select_priv,insert_priv,update_priv,delete_priv,create_priv,drop_priv,index_priv) VALUES ('localhost','postnuke',PASSWORD('password'),'Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y');
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> \q
Change 'password' with a good one
STEP 3: Get postnuke archive
Go to postnuke home web site
http://www.postnuke.comwget command :
STEP 4: Unpacking archive
# unzip PostNuke-0.726-3.zip
STEP 7: Launch setup
Open you browser at location
http://your server name/postnuke/install.php.
Follow the install procedure.
When asked fill information about database fill with that information:
Database Host : localhost
Database username : postnuke
Database password : the password you mentioned at step2 make one easy to remember for you...
Database name : postnuke
Leave all other fields in there state
It should work fine.
