[Xerte-dev] Re: Problems installing Xerte

[Mark Berthelemy]

Hi John,

I'm not entirely sure.

The only thing I can think is that, the first time, I might have allowed Xerte to create the database, rather than pre-create it.

I also changed some of the text fields in the configuration screen that comes up during install (eg. site name, nothing that would affect the DB)

Not sure what happened 2nd time around.

Sorry I can't help more than that.

Mark
