Basically have the same issues as another member on here. I installed the forums through Fantastico.
"
Executing database changes
Please be patient - this may take some time on large forums. The time elapsed increments from the server to show progress is being made!
Executing upgrade script 1 of 2.
Executing: "Updating search cache..." (14 of 19 - of this script)
I get this error
Error!
Server has not responded for 30 seconds. It may be worth waiting a little longer or otherwise please click here to try this step again"
Please help.
Wecome to SMCF,
So did you click the retry link ?
Fantastico aren't terribly good, sadly.
Often the version of SMF they install is out of date.
It might be best to install it in the "normal" way.

(It looks more complicated than it is) ;)
