Unable to complete installation

I've been able to create the database using the install script but unable to populate the database with tables (using script). I've setup many other applications & scripts no problem, so I don't believe there is a server or requirements problem (but I could be wrong).

Is anyone else having this problem?

Is anyone able to provide assistance?

Many thanks,
Mike

Hi. In connect.php are the host, username, password, and database variables set correctly? Is the sql directory in the same place as the includes directory?

This is my connect.php:

define('PHPDIG_DB_PREFIX','<edited>');
define('PHPDIG_DB_HOST','<edited>');
define('PHPDIG_DB_USER','<edited>');
define('PHPDIG_DB_PASS','<edited>');
define('PHPDIG_DB_NAME','<edited>');

The file is initially named "_connect.php" and then is renamed to "connect.php", is that correct?

The sql and includes directories are in the root of phpdig directory.

The install script makes a connection and creates the database but not the tables. The browser then just times-out.

Yep, that's correct.

Do you have phpMyAdmin? Can see if the script actually made the new database?

Also, in connect.php, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
@mysql_select_db(PHPDIG_DB_NAME,$id_connect);

and replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!mysql_select_db(PHPDIG_DB_NAME,$id_connect)) {

     echo "Error: unable to select the database";

     exit();

}

Now when you try to create the tables, do you get the above error onscreen?

I'm having the same exact problem, and no the the database wasn't installed. (checked phpmyadmin)
