So far so good with the installation, but when I run the install.php script nothing happens...

These are the values I'm using:

Host: localhost
Port: 3306
Sock: [empty]
User: [valid MySQL user with create tables permissions]
Pass: [password for above user]
PhpDig Database: phpdig [already created on the localhost]
Tables Prefix: [empty]

When I click "Install phpdig database" I am brought back to the install.php page but there is no error and the tables are not created. I looked in the web server error log but there's nothing there either. Help!

Okay, so after digging into the code a bit I found out that the tables weren't being created. I added an output for the MySQL errors where the tables are being created (line 108 in version 1.8.8-rc1) and this is what was returned:

Checking the handy MySQL manual, I find a "CHARACTER SET" statement, but not a CHARSET.

Any ideas?

Okay, I found the CHARSET statement:

Back to work but would still take a helping hand...

Do you meet these (http://www.phpdig.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1789) requirements? If so, and as you have already created the database, try choosing the create tables option instead. BTW, what version of PHP are you running?

Hmm... that's good info. It sure would have saved both of us a lot of time if I would have read that ahead of time eh? :bang:


PHP 4.3.10 (cgi) (built: Dec 21 2004 10:27:48)
mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.23a, for redhat-linux-gnu (i686)
Apache/2.0.51


So, if I don't update both MySQL and Apache, I assume that I need to go back and run PhpDig v.1.8.7 instead?

PhpDig 1.8.8 RC1 Requirements: http://www.phpdig.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1789
PhpDig 1.8.7 Requirements: http://www.phpdig.net/navigation.php?action=doc#toc3

I haven't tested Apache/2.0.51 specifically, but without MySQL 4.1.7+ (possibly an earlier version of MySQL 4.1.x) you cannot run PhpDig 1.8.8 RC1.
