This problem is occuring during the installation process so those settings should be done automatically by XOOPS from the pages before. But to answer your question, i have tried both setting up the database manually and letting XOOPS installation do it automatically both with the same result.

I am running for the first time on a linux platform (newbe to linux)

RedHat Linux 8
Apache 2.0.40
Mysql 4.0.15-0
php 4.2.2-8.0.8
xoops 2.0.4

Dutring installation I get to the confirm database settings without any trouble whatsoever. When I click next I get a blank page. I have gone throgh a few posts and have tried the suggestions like activatiing the php errors (don't get any), installing all php modules including Dynamic client libraries. Did all the chmod settings on the files spent hours checking, resetting, changing and tweaking the MySQL permissions and i am stillhaving the same problem. I have even re-installed the server at least 3 times. I have no idea what is still th problem.

Thanks!! hsalazar

It worked like a charm. I had tried it this way before but i was doing it a little differently. Now i see what i was doing wrong. I will try your full code on another module i am working on and see how that works. Thanks again for all your help. Now i can stop driving myself crazy.

i am using the default templates for my theme so i am not altering the templates at all. I have mad changes to teh stylesheet to suit the theme that i am designing. Changing the information in the stylesheet and getting it to basically look the way i want is not a problem. However, there are some tables taht i want to alook dirfferently and no matter how i change the options in the tags it does not override the stylesheet. I thought that any specials settings placed in the <table> tags in your html or php cose would override the stylesheet settingsb tut his is not happening.

here is the sample of part of my code and the problem I am having.

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border:3px double #00aa99; border-collapse: collapse" width=449 bgcolor="#4E7F81" bordercolordark="#660000" bordercolorlight="#996600">
<tr>
<td width="149"> <img border="0" src="images/hands.jpg" width="281" height="223"></td>
<td width="300" bgcolor="#4E7F81" align="center">
<b><font face="Arial, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Times" size="3" color="#ffffff">
Weddings<br>
Graduations<br>
Proms<br>
Parties<br>
Portfolios <br>
Portraiture<br>
Landscaping<br>
Corporate</font></b>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


The problem I am having is that I am trying to get that text to be vertically aligned in the cell. No matter where I put the valign statement it does not work. I tried putting it in the <table> tag in the <tr> tag and the <td> tag and none of them worked. The code by works just fine in a browser by itself but when I add it to my module the formatting is off. The width of the table is also conforming to the 100% specified in the style sheet for the default table settings instead of the 449 that is specified in the tag.

When I alter the stylesheet for the default table in the style.css file to match what I want, it works but it also affects all the other tables. So what i am trying to do is to have taht one section be customized the way i ant it separate from the stylesheet and I m having a hard time getting that accomplished since the tag codes are not overriding the stylesheet.

If you need any more information let me know

How can I override the default teble setting in teh Style.css file. I have a table that I want formatted a little different but no matter what settings I place in the table tags it still uses the default setting that is in the style.css file
