[Xerte-dev] Re: Xerte Installation on a Centos - Blank Databaseerties

[Smith, John]

Hi Tom,

Yes the latest version from the community site. I had the exact same error (yesterday) and after manually adding the details to database.php and getting page4 to run it appeared to setup properly however enabling db auth and going to management and trying to add a user giver the error I posted yesterday so something still isn’t right…

Just spoke with Mark (We were both at another meeting today). They're using the most recent, i.e. 2 days old, version. He's going to edit database.php manually, restart the install and then go to setup/page4.php if all else fails.

Do you happen to know what version of the installer you are using? See

I had to go into the newly created database.php and manually enter the correct values to connect to the database. Then refreshed the browser on step 4 and clicked ok to resubmit the posted data and this time it went through fine...

Upon inspection there is no data what so ever in the sitedetails database table other than (what I assume is an auto incremental number) the id of 1. There is no site_url, apache, admin_username, admin_password .... etc etc.
