install problem, new user

[focusfive]

file upload to server and requirements checked out. Then I go to do the simple install, enter all the correct information. When I click Complete Installation, it simply takes me back to the requirements page. Any advice?

Thanks----
Brandon

Tell us something about your setup: Serendipity version, PHP version, Webserver version, your client browser, used firewalls, ...

There are a bunch of possible problems; mostly all of them leading to a wrong server setup or to a browser problem.

Do you have the URL online where you're trying to install?

There are a lot of options in mismatch with s9y: allow_url_fopen, magic_quotes_gpc, register_globals. Are you able to change those settings?
