Hi!

I've tried to install SMF 2.1 today on a local webserver running Debian 8, but it fails at the last step with a blank white screen each time.

Here's what Apache spits out in the error log:


PHP Notice:  Undefined index: user_settings_email in /var/www/install.php on line 2611, referer: http://127.0.0.1/install.php?step=3
PHP Notice:  Undefined index: user_settings_email_info in /var/www/install.php on line 2614, referer: http://127.0.0.1/install.php?step=3
PHP Notice:  Undefined index: htmlspecialchars in /var/www/Sources/Errors.php on line 69, referer: http://127.0.0.1/install.php?step=4
PHP Fatal error:  Function name must be a string in /var/www/Sources/Errors.php on line 69, referer: http://127.0.0.1/install.php?step=4


I've tried the 2.1 beta 1 from the download page, and also tried the latest Git.

Let me point out that SMF 2.0.10 installs perfectly without any errors on the same server with the same server configs.

Just letting you know, but I really want to try this new SMF out too! :)

Curious enough, there is an open issue at GH with the same description (white page at step 3), but with a different error...

Please update install.php (get it fresh from the repo). Your copy is old.
