confirm database settings

Database Name test
Table Prefix XOOPS


If the above setting is correct, press the button below to continue.


The username / password should right ...folder of database is 777 already

ANY idea ?

Are you absolutely sure the db settings are entered correctly? See the Troubleshooting Guide in the XOOPS wiki (see to the left here) for turning error reporting on the hard way. Without error report we can't tell much about the issue...

I investigated a bit about this prob, i have the same, i switch error_reporting(E_ALL) and still there was no error message displayed, then i saw a comment line in install/index.php with the same var. I uncommented it and still no error message... Im sure the prob is when the dbmanager call a connection to mysql, i gave the root password to XOOPS in dispair to get thing work... Maybe if i can manage to see the error message when the dbmanager try to connect ill be able to figure why the error occur while trying to connect, but from now on I cant figure out how to display error message from XOOPS installation, i checked the trouble shooting section but still has i mentioned in this message it wont show any error message, and my apache is not blocking them because if i put jerk in the code i get error from php...
