Installing on Windows XP with IIS5, PHP5 - the installation script displays several PHP notices, which choke the redirects later in the script.

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\Common\drupal-5.0\includes\form.inc on line 324

Notice: Undefined variable: redirect in C:\Common\drupal-5.0\includes\form.inc on line 267

I fixed the problem by editing my php.ini file, and changing error_reporting=E_ALL to error_reporting=E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE. This is a change from Drupal 4.7, and should probably be mentioned on the installation instructions?

Thanks!

I have done this (on OS X) and it works but i do not understand why. It seem that this just hides the error messages and does not solve any underlying problems. Is the install script able to solve these problems but unable to deal with the messages??

I'm also on OS X with the same problem and I found this worked for me... But why?

yes it only hides the error messages. i'm also getting this problems and i'm using MAMP on OSX 10.5.3. i've been coding a while now (although i'm not too good at it) and i notice that you can ignore notices and warnings as long as it's not fatal errors. your programs will still runs smoothly.

After editing the php.ini file as described above, The install script displays the database configuration form. After filling in the information and verifying that all is correct, and clicking the "Save Configuration" button, I am presented with the same form again, with all text fields empty, but no error messages.
