When I click on "I Agree" it takes me to a blank page and stops there.
Followed all directions, have used this before with no problems, this is a new installation with a new database.
http://www.ascendancyforums.com/roster

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Seems to me that the file structure isn't ok.

Re-up everything and double check that al the dir's are there.

Alos the initial install.php file, and the install directory.

It is all there.
I have re-uploaded a couple of times and even downloaded from one of the other listed locations.

:::Edit:::
As of 4:45pm 7/6/08 the server is down...will edit again once up.

:::Edit:::
As of 6:30pm 7/6/08 the server is now back up. Still can't get to step 1

Useing a different host I get to Step 1 but when I try to goto Step 2, I get:

Notice: Undefined index: default_lang in /home/ph34rt3h/public_html/install.php on line 893

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/ph34rt3h/public_html/lib/dbal/mysql.php on line 176

You can ignore the 'default_lang' error, it means nothing

As for the rest of the errors, it looks like you may be entering the wrong info for the database

Ok i just tried again making double sure everything is as it was setup I even recreated the user and reassigned it to the database to make sure the password was right.

...and I still get the same problem.

Open lib/dbal/mysql.php
Around line 123
Find

Code: Select all

die_quietly($this->error(), 'Database Error',__FILE__,__LINE__,$query);

Replace with

Code: Select all

         print $this->error() . ' Database Error in File: [' . __FILE__ . '] on Line [' . __LINE__ . '] Query was: ' . $query;
         die();

Try again and report any errors

Found it at 234, nothing relating to that found at or near 123

Also note that i had to use another free server, the one I was useing above conveniently forgot I had an account or is having some other problem.
Anyways with the changes made I get the following message

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined index: default_lang in /www/my2gig.com/p/h/3/ph34rt3hcute1/htdocs/install.php on line 893

I appreciate all your help.

Well, what to say: I, for example aren't authorized to execute a command like that :
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `unique_name`;
for a simple reason, my web host gives me the data base(s), and I can't create / modify / erase them.
I'm only allowed to create TABLES in a data base.
I think also that my case is the "classic" one: you have a (or more) data base, and you are allowed to create TABLES in as much as you like.

Can you confirm that you can actually CREATE a DATA BASE on your SQL server ?? Because that's what the question all about, the 'error' is clear. It's saying you can't.

Confirm that your are able to do so, just copy this
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `ph34rt3hcute1_roster`;
in phpmyadmin, and execute this (it's a valid SQL phrase).
I’m pretty sure that you’ll see the real face of the rror that this statement produces, this:
“supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in…”
becomes:
MySQL a replies:
#1044 - Access denied for user 'your_name'@'%' to database 'unique_name'

Try to install without filling in the last two lines (saying this from memory, can't install a fresh WoWRoster to test right now - I'm on a 2 Kbit connection )

Ok now I feel like a total noob...it pays to everything.

Code: Select all

Create Database Options
If you would like the installer to create the database, you can enter the db user with permissions to create a database here
This information will NOT be saved

I thought that was where you created the admin account for the roster so I didn't read it and as such kept giving me an error.

Ok well now that it will in stall I am going to attempt to backup and load it on my main site (see problem with first post).

If you know why it wouldn't goto Step 1 on the main site I sure would like to know what happened there, if not I thank you for your assistance and hopefully the backup will work.

for you.

Second time in a short row that these two 'questions/options' were really mis-understood.

It should be stated more clearly that one should leave these field empty, except if one knows what they mean and do ;-)

...and for the record my backup of the temp setup and restoration to my main site worked.

So thanks for all the help.
