Thought I would try out your autosetup.php and test a few things but all I got was the following. Not important to me (I shall now simply do a manual install) but I thought you should know in case anybody else had a problem. I remember Jayweb (or was it Jez?) saying they always had problems when they tried it.
Couldn't write file. please assign 777/755 permissions (whichever is appropriate to your server) to the parent directory of the installation location.

hmph! so much for me doing a quick and simple test. I think I am going to find a desert island where there are NO computers!
OK, so manually ftp'd the files and ran setup to be presented with the following - do I have to do it differently now for suphp? I thought I had to leave ftp details blank?:

Your languages directory is not writable, so the language file cannot be copied. Either the directory is not chmoded to 777 or the server permissions do not allow a file to be copied (most likely php is running in safe mode). You will have to manually move the file /languages/setup/languages/setup/englishonly.lng to /languages/default.lng in order to select your languages properly.
Your config.php file is not writeable. Please chmod 666 or 777 the file config.php and try again.
The permissions simply aren't allowing anything to be done -- probably because the directory is owned by "nobody", which never happens with suphp, it's an artifact from apache mode that has to be fixed to complete the transition. Though I don't see any directories in your tokraweb site that are owned by anyone except tokraweb, so that section seems fine.
Will do your knowledge base setup there shortly and report if there are any problems.
A proper suphp host requires no configuration of anything, no chmoding, no ftp info. Unless maybe you use the FTP account of a different user than whose site you're doing.
Totally perplexed about my server and suphp. I thought they had finally set it up and that it was ok this morning when I got up. Then LW's latest emails say
I will see what I can do to get suPHP working, it should only require a few file ownership changes.
and then
I've enabled suPHP and updated permissions on your files so everything should run now, I will also keep an eye on the error log for any issues.
The problem was that the server has reserved /manual/ for the apache manual. Using /kb/ worked fine. Nothing wrong with the autosetup. As far as I can see there are no problems on your server, but I'm only looking at one account.

There is a problem, but it doesn't look the same as the one you described: http://www.webmastersite.net/screenshots/24474.jpg . Will try stepping through it.

I think I saw that at one stage to!

ho hum, as long as it is ok now!
