Hi,

installed and configured phpdig 1.8.0, but am getting the following error:

Install did not work- Can't create database.

Directories admin/temp, includes & text_content permissions set to 777.

Database holds the following tables: engine, excludes, keywords,logs, sites, spider & tempspider.

PHP Version 4.2.3
mysql 3.23.49
Linux infong 2.4.21

My _connect.php:

// Connection configuration
define('PHPDIG_DB_PREFIX','<dbprefix>');
define('PHPDIG_DB_HOST','db272.puretec.de');
define('PHPDIG_DB_USER','xxxxxx');
define('PHPDIG_DB_PASS','xxxxxx');
define('PHPDIG_DB_NAME','xxxxxx');

No special characters in my files.

Here are the Link to my phpinfo:

Hi tams, and welcome to PhpDig.net!

define('PHPDIG_DB_PREFIX','<dbprefix>');

Try changing that to...

define('PHPDIG_DB_PREFIX','');

(two single quotes, no space inbetween)

Hi

Maybe your hosting disallow you to create databases.

If you already have database, then try just create tables.

get the same error...

Hi. Are the tables already in the database? If so, what happens when you call admin/index.php from your browser?

I see,

Maybe you have another access to your database, phpmyadmin, for example, or shell ssh? You could create tables by your self.


What error did you get?

Hi Konstantine, thx for support.
I don't understand that, suddenly everything is fine.
think that was my fault, so sorry.

links found : 0
...Was recently indexed
Optimizing tables...
Indexing complete !

ok first i look in the forum to find a solution.
many thx and greetings from hamburg/germany

I had such error, it could be that the database and tables was already created and was an attempt to create again, that's why you could get that errors.

do you think that i should delete the tables in my database and
restart the installation with "Create tables only"?

no, of couse no :) I mean that was a problem. Installation is just creating tables and configure config.php, so you DON'T need to delete your tables :)
