PHP 4.4.0-3ubuntu2
Apache 2.0.54
mysql 4.0.24
xoops 2.0.13.2
registered globals off
xoops url http://dev.signalblast.com
xoops path /var/www/html
database name: xoops4
user: xoops

I can do http://dev.signalblast.com/install/index.php

Everything is good up to "Check Database". When I click 'next' on that screen, I get a blank screen.

It looks like the user is not correct or not connecting to the database. But I can do 'mysql -u XOOPS -p' and login to mysql. Then I do 'use xoops4;', that seems to work. If I do a 'show tables;' nothing is there. This makes sense because the install has not made the tables yet.

/var/log/mysql.err is empty.
/var/log/mysql.log is empty.

I am doing the install from a remote machine because I do not have a GUI on the server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Wes Hegge

I'm not sure but I think I remember having a problem when trying to use a MySQL user with no password.

Try making the installer display errors for more info by adding a error_reporting(E_ALL); line on top of install/index.php, or setting up a pwd for your MySQL user, you may be more lucky.

I did the error_reporting(E_ALL) in index.php. Here is what I get at the point of failure.

Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /var/www/html/install/class/textsanitizer.php on line 86

Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /var/www/html/install/class/textsanitizer.php on line 86

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/install/class/textsanitizer.php:86) in /var/www/html/install/index.php on line 99

Also, there is a password associated with the XOOPS user.

Not sure what else to try. I have not yet looked at line 99. Will look at that next.

OK made a rookie mistake. PHP did not have MySQL support. Needed to add the package php4-mysql. Here is the command: apt-get install php4-mysql

Sorry and thanks.
