Tried that and I got this:
SQL query:

CREATE TABLE phpbb_shoutbox(
shout_id int( 11 ) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
shout_user_id mediumint( 8 ) NOT NULL ,
shout_time int( 11 ) NOT NULL ,
shout_ip varchar( 32 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 NOT NULL ,
shout_text text COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL ,
shout_bbcode_bitfield varchar( 255 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 NOT NULL ,
shout_bbcode_uid varchar( 8 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 NOT NULL ,
shout_bbcode_flags int( 11 ) unsigned NOT NULL default '7',
PRIMARY KEY ( shout_id )

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL ,
shout_bbcode_bitfield varchar( 255

It sounds like your host is using an old MYSQL version, any ideas what it's running?

I'm not 100% but I'm sure I saw on phpbb.com that many problems like that are because running MYSQL prior to 4.1, might be worth having a look on that.

Hi there! Wonderfull stuff this, only i cant get it to work. I tried it 2 times but still no succes. Maybe you know what im doing wrong over here.

I succesfully installed the Arcade but when i try to install the Gallery i get the following error:
Language file gallery_install.php couldn't be opened.
I CHMODDED it to 755 and 777 but both without any succes.
Then i reuploaded my backup and did another try, same error.

I hope you now how to help me out with it.

Thanks in regard!

Have you uploaded the whole gallery install folder. The whole install needs uploading not just the file.

If you are converting over and all the fils are there complete on the server, there's a chance your browser/forum is still running as old. Make sure you purge cache in ACP and/or open /cache folder via ftp and delete everything but the htaccess.
