Installer - An unexpected error occured. Please try again later.

[Pebbelz]

Hi all,

I ran into an issue when running the 4images-Installer. I filled the mask with following values ...

DB Host   - localhost
DB Name - FotoDB (I suppose, will be created by Installer ?)
DB User   - root (this is the mySQL Master User)
DB Pass   - the Password to the above user
prefix      - FOTO_

Admin User - admin (I suppose this a new user created by Installer)
Admin Pass - admin

Hitting Button "Start Installation" will result in following error Message "An unexpected error occured. Please try again later."

Is there any additional Log which might give some additional information? I already checked "access" and "error" Log from Apache and as well the mySQL 'Server'.err Logfile. Unfortunately without any success.

My environment ...

- Windows XP Pro SP3
- Apache 2.0.54
- PHP 5.0.4
- MySQLServer 4.1
- MySQLAdmin 2.6.2 (PatchLevel1)

I installed MySQLAdmin only for test purposes, just to assure that access to MySQL-Database is possible using PHP ... and MySQLAdmin is working fine, therefore I assume that the installation of Apache/PHP/MySQL is OK.

I really appreciate any hint which will bring me closer to a solution ... btw - I really searched for about 3 hours in the FAQ and Forum ...

Kind regards
Alex

Hi,
    I don't think installer will create the database ..   Please create the database and try again to install it.


Thanks

Hi batu544,

    I don't think installer will create the database ..   Please create the database and try again to install it.

do you have any documentation on how to create a 4images DB, if it is not done by the installer?

Kind Regards
Alex

Its simple.. !!   Go to your MySQLAdmin.. there you can find the option to create the database.

OK I found the issue,

obviously there is a information GAP in the Installation description ... because nowhere there is any hint the I have to create the DB schema manually.

I would propose to add an additional step 1.1 into the Installation Guide, highlighting to create your own DB-Schema.

Kind regards
Alex
