Hello all,
I have been using XOOPS now for a long time however it has been a long time since i have created a website

I have uploaded XOOPS onto my site using my FTP XOOPS verison 1.3.10
Here is my database configuration

Database MySQL

Database Hostname localhost

Database Username dandselectronic

Database Password *********

Database Name dandselectronic

Table Prefix XOOPS

Use persistent connection? Yes

XOOPS Physical Path /customers/dandselectronics.co.uk/dandselectronics.co.uk/httpd.www

XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)http://dandselectronics

I go through all the motions click next , then says enter a username and password, the click next to create tables, then all i get is a white screen with a message saying
"can not create xoops_session"
Now i've been chating to the web provider and they have other XOOPS sites on there so it should work :/ there is no firewalls or other settings that would stop me from uploading this

PLEASE SOMONE HELP !!!!
thanks in advance

xoops_session is an XOOPS database table used for holding the session data of your users.

What tables has it created? None? Some? Or all of them except xoops_session? Make a note and report that back.

If you've not done anything with your database yet try deleting it (if you have permission) and start again. If you can't delete it try deleting everything in it (all the tables) and start the installer again.

hello thanks for your quick reply,

When i go onto the website www.dandselectronics.co.uk
it just says Selected module does not exist!, there seems to be the basic theme for the site but nothing else but that message
it has redirected me to /modules/news if that helps i've tried going to /admin so i can upload the modules myself but then get a page can not be displayed

Have you installed the News module? If not, go into admin> preferences> general settings and select "none" in "module for your start page."

This value is also in the config table of your database as _MD_AM_STARTPAGE

Powered by XOOPS 1.3.10
Thats a pretty old version of Xoops

Have you managed to login yet?
http://www.dandselectronics.co.uk/user.php

And change the start page to [none]?

Hiya,

With all due respect, you are using a version of XOOPS that will not work on most servers without a bit of TLC or massive code changes. Most issues you will probably have is due to 'register globals'. The code is nearly five years old and most people never keep a car that long :-p

I would suggest that you install 2.18 and give that a try instead.
