It's a bit technical and hard to explain so that's why I am offering to do it for you.

Ok, PM sent.

I tried installing Pligg manually for Mikeee and in the end we found out that the server was running php 4.2. There is a function used throughout Pligg called "file_get_contents()." This function requires PHP 4.3 or higher and this is why things weren't working out so well.

Another reason is that the server was also running mysql 3 which is relatively old seeing as 5 is the latest version.
