i am meeting all reqs, but still getting "Please set all required settings before clicking Continue."
does anyone have any advice on this?
magento ver. 1.3.2.2
i am VERY stuck here.
additionally i am on godaddy VPS with centos 5. server install was php 5.1.6, so i added centos test repo and updated to 5.2.9. when i tried to install magento, i got an error about mcrypt. i tried to update mcrypt using yum (yum update mcrypt* etc.) which did not work as it was not on repo.
i was able to find some RPMs posted and i was able to install php-mcrypt 5.2.9 using rpm -ivh php-mcrypt-5.2.9-1.i386.rp
at this point magento-check.php says all is well, but installer still says to check all settings.

fibo, my apologies, i had made a full install, actually twice, but what the problem wound up being was they the version i was uploading was older than the version of PHP on the system.
once i downloaded 1.3.2.3 and uploaded that it was fine.
i have only used this site a couple of times, so if there is a way to award you some points i am happy to do it, just let me know.
it is a very helpful site as it is just about the only forum i can get answers on.
i certainly did not intend to award myself points. seems like that is a flaw in the system.
thanks for your input.

1 - Magento check says OK, so IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT Magento should install.
2 - So in fact it is not running in the same environment. Strange, right?
This might happen if in fact you are running the installer to download the files: this runs from the installer directory, where the environment might be different (I had this problem 'cause my config was using php4 by default; I had changed .htaccess to allow php5... but not in this directory).
It might also come from some access rights issues: magento copies files and directories with access right slightly unsafe, so your host provider might block things...
3 - Suggestions:
a - CHECK ACCESS RIGHTS. Almost all directories except /media/ and /var/tmp/ should be CHMOD 705 or 755, and more precisely NOT to 777. Almost all files, and specifically ALL the php, phtml, js files should be CHMOD 644 and more precisely NOT 666.
b - check the impact of running magento-check.php from this downloader directory.
c - Have you made a full install, ie download the zip file to your own machine, unzip, ftp-copy to your host, CHECK ACCESS RIGHTS as above? If you have not done it, you should try this path. FTP transfer might be long because of the ten of thousands (!) files, but it proves an effective way in most situations
