This problem extends beyond the installation. Creating forums (the header and footer checkbox) returns a NULL character instead of a '0'. The same goes for posting a new thread or reply. It seems like I have some work ahead of me in order to get this working properly based on my configuration.
It would seem that either MySQL 4 has poor error checking or that this installation really isn't designed for MySQL 5. However, I’m confident that I will eventually figure it out and get everything working…
