thanks :)

I also get this error

I think there is an error in the install.php
This is the code of this file (on line 180):

[code]
if (!$error && !$testing) {
$returns = file_get_contents('http://social.jcow.net/register.php?cid='.$_POST['cid'].'&email='.$_POST['email'].'&url='.urlencode($_POST['uhome']) );
$arr = explode(':',$returns);
$nid = $arr[0];
$secure_key = $arr[1];
if (!is_numeric($nid) || strlen($secure_key) != 32) {
$error = 1;
$error_msg[] = 'Unable to connect Jcow for generating the secure key.';
}
}
[/code]

Any idea?

Hi I've got the same problem.
Your server gives a 403 forbidden message when the install.php script trying to register the cid, email and url. I tried manually register in my webbrowser with the same error, it says;
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /register.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

then? any posibble solution to fix this? :(

Hello elmill79,
plz open your install.php with a text editor,
find and delete the following codes:
[code]
if (!$error && !$testing) {
$returns = file_get_contents('http://social.jcow.net/register.php?cid='.$_POST['cid'].'&email='.$_POST['email'].'&url='.urlencode($_POST['uhome']) );
$arr = explode(':',$returns);
$nid = $arr[0];
$secure_key = $arr[1];
if (!is_numeric($nid) || strlen($secure_key) != 32) {
$error = 1;
$error_msg[] = 'Unable to connect Jcow for generating the secure key.';
}
}
[/code]
Save and install again.
