I'm trying to install the demo of modernbill and am constantly see encrypted text (mixed with readable text) throughout the process. It says that the install is complete but when I try to go to the order or login pages I see an entire page of encrypted text.

I have all the necessary modules installed and PHP safe mode is off, I installed it in a "modernbill" dir however after the install the admin link points to http://localhost:9000/mbnew/modernbill-demo/

Any ideas?

BTW do they have support forums as I did not see a link on their site

Make sure you've edited the config file, and uploaded the PHP files as BINARY not ASCII

all files were uploaded in binary, and config file was edited.

Actually, I had a suggestion, but virtually the same thing was offered by someone while I was still writing it...since I couldn't delete, I removed all but the '.'.

You need to install the Zend-optimizer to run the files. They are encoded.

The demo does not come with official support but their is a public forum to ask questions about the demo under the "Contact" link.

It does sound like your installation problem is Zend Optimizer (a free install) is need to run the program.

Dumb question, when running phpinfo I see this towards the top

This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v1.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2002 Zend Technologies


Does this not mean I have Zend installed?

You have zend installed but not the optimizer.

see- http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-optimizer.php

Hope all goes smoothly for you.

Jon, thank you so much, that did it (well that and entering agree in caps on the install page)

I'm off to play with it now

oh great i has some problems too while i was installing Modernbill for first time.
