SMF 1.1 RC1
PHP 4.3.2 (View phpinfo file at http://www.hypernexus.co.uk/phpinfo.php
MySQL 3.23.58
Apache 2.0.46
OS Red Hat Linux

Ok just installed a clean install of SMF downloaded directly from this site (no custom themes if you're wondering, I'm using the bare defaults - all setup correctly, as I've set tons of these up before).

The site works perfectly, apart from when you go to reply to a topic, start a new topic etc. It tries to send you to a link:

http://www.hypernexus.co.uk/index.php?action=post;topic=1.0.0;num_replies=0

Also, if you try and access the post directly from the board index, it gives an error in SQL syntax:
The error log churns this out:

http://www.hypernexus.co.uk/index.php?topic=1.new
: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'new' at line 12
/var/www/vhosts/hypernexus.co.uk/httpdocs/Sources/Load.php
472

It's brand new, I've tried installing from frech several times (yes I've reuploaded the files again and again from those contained at this site), everything is chmodded correctly, and paths are all perfect. So what's wrong? Thus far I've been directed to other posts at this site (believe me I've checked them all), and although the problem has been encountered before, the solution offered either don't work or require going back to SMF 1.0.5. If I have not modified SMF at all, how can this be happening? The only other reason is that there's a problem with my server setup at netpivotal. What needs to be done to fix this? If you need anymore info I'd be happy to give it.

No it's not a bug - my apologies.
If anyone else encounters this problem, have your host turn off register_globals in the PHP settings - it will fix everything  ;D
