I,

I have a new ubuntu 9.10 linux system with apache2, php5 and mysql.
I've created a new database called teamsabrina
I've installed your files under apache WWW folder
I've change config.php to match my database, user and password
When i launch index.php from the browser i get the homepage with this message:

Failed to connect database: Table 'teamsabrina.GEM3_Event' doesn't exist

If i press connexion and then rebuild database i get:


Warning: require_once(includes/init.inc) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/ws/install/initialize_db.php on line 4

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/init.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/ws/install/initialize_db.php on line 4

Can you guys give me some help on this?

thanks,

Hallex

With the latest version, you must not manually create the config.php file, it's created by itself with the install process.
Remove the file and re-open the index.php page

thanks Kiki it worked but now, after filling the required fields I get:

Database connection successful
Authentication Database connection successful
Config file written

Failed to connect to database (check DB configuration)

Any clues on that? it's strange because it connect and then it says failled to connect...

I've checked the config.php file and it's empty.

Thanks,

Hallex

if the config file is not written then it's the problem.
Maybe check that the php process has wright access to the folder.
Otherwise, in the next version I'm going to release, I've fixed the issue with the auto db updater, so you'll be able to create the config.ini file yourself and you won't have the issue you had in your first post
