How to install BlaB! IM

Create an empty database using PhpMyAdmin or a similar program depending on the database engine you are about to use.

[how to create a new MySQL database in cPanel]

Unzip the files from the TAR.GZ archive in an empty directory keeping the directory structure. You can use 7-ZIP, WinZip, WinRar or any other archive extractor.

Open config.php by a text editor and set the following variables: $dbss['user'] - database user, $dbss['pass'] - database password and $dbss['name'] - database name.

Upload the whole directory (and all files/subdirectories in it) to your server with an FTP program.

Load install.php in your web browser: 
http://yoursite.com/blab_im/install.php and follow the instructions.

Let me show the actual error here.
Using TYPE instead of ENGINE is no longer supported. This is not a bug.

mysql> create table t(a int) type=heap;
ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 'type=heap' at line 1

mysql> create table t(a int) engine=heap;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
