Trouble Installing

[Amarth]

I'm trying to install IntegraMod 1.4.0 and I'm having some problems. I'm thinking that it's because I already have IntegraMod install. I'm wanting to run two different forums at the moment. Also, if this effects anything, I'm installing this forum on a subdomain.

At the moment, I have Integramod 1.4.0 installed and a PhpBB forum installed. If I can get this second IntegraMod forum installed, I'm going to ditch the PhpBB forum.

I have two IntegraMod forums installed on my server, so that should be no problem.
Maybe it's the server specs or something,
How many databases are you allowed to have?
Wich version of php/mysql is installed on your server?

[Helter]

can you describe the problem your having? You cannot share one db between two forums without being a little tricky with your directories and cookies

Forgot to leave some specs and details. Here are some specs that are likely relavent:

Subdomains: 2 (Unlimited)
MySQL Databases: 2 (Unlimited)
PHP version 4.4.2
MySQL version 4.0.27-standard


The error. I uploaded the files and did all the CHMOD stuff as the instructions said. I opened /install/install.php and fill out all the information. I've checked the information several times and it is correct. When I click on submit, the page loads the install.php page again. All the information I entered is still there, even the passwords. The only thing that is different is that the dropdown lost for Database Type is back to the default 3.x.

This exact problem also happened when I tried to install the beta release of 1.4.1 about a week ago.

I also already got rid of the PhpBB forum I was tinkering with. The databases I'm using right now is the one for my functional forum and a blank one for the forum I'm hoping to install now.

[Helter]

that sounds like a problem from one of the older beta 141 versions. Are you sure your using 140?

[Amarth]

No, I've got v1.4.0 I still can't get it to install. I don't know what's wrong.

[Amarth]

Still having this problem. I'll try and be as detailed as I can.

Host Stats:

Operating system Linux
Kernel version 2.4.21-40.ELsmp
Machine Type i686
Apache version 1.3.36 (Unix)
PERL version 5.8.0
Path to PERL /usr/bin/perl
Path to sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
PHP version 4.4.2
MySQL version 4.0.27-standard

I open install/install.php and fill out the information.

-MySQL 4.x (only other option is 3.x)
-Install Method: Install

-Database Server Hostname / DSN: localhost
-I fill in the database stuff and use the correct username and password for it.
-Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_
-I entered my e-mail

-I entered the subdomain for the forum domain.
-Server port is 80
-script path is /gwr/.
-Entered Admin username and password

-PHPbb Security Settings are blank
-Install Prillian disabled.


When I click on "Submit", the page reloads and the same page loads an all the fields are the same except the MySQL is at the default 3.x and not 4.x. Lastly, the checkbox to not install Prillian is unchecked.


I have two SQL databases right now. One for my other functional IntegraMod 1.4.0 forum and another for the forum I'm trying to install.

[evolver]

On some servers (like mine), every databasename and username starts with the username you have for the server...

Something like this:
Dbname: servername_databasename
DBUser: servername_username

This can be confusing sometimes... <img>

Could that be your problem?

-Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_

You cant have two installs on the same database with the same prefix tables.

Change phpbb_ to something else, like phpbb2_ or anything you like.

I would recommend having the _ at the end, could make things easier if you ever need to edit your SQL.

[Amarth]

1. Changing the Prefix to something like phpbb2_ didn't help.

2. I'm installing on a blank database. I'm not sharing a database with another forum. I don't think you can even do that.

3. Yeah, I've known of the prefix added to database names.


I'm wondering if something is wrong with the install.php file or some compatability problem with my host.

Urg! I figured it out. The fields for PhpBB security had to be filled out. I thought they where optional. After I filled them in, it installed successfully. I wish I would have got a message like "Fill out {Insert Textbox Here} first"

Glad you sorted it out....It is so frustrating from both sides as it tends to be something easy...but unless you are looking at the problem directly it becomes a guessing game....

I shall add a solved....
