I'm currently running PHP 5.2.0, however, this has also been tried on PHP Version 4.3.10. When I get this the only thing that shows up is a white screen, I have to view -> source to actually see the error above. SQL has full admin w/ remote access enabled. I've done numerous 2.xx PHPBB installs and 2-3 PHPBB3 beta installs, all successful. I can't find anything to suggest that this error is user related.
