[Xerte] walkthrough for installing toolkits

[RonM]

Pat may beat me to this response but here goes anyway...

What do you see if via cpanel you access phpMyAdmin - you should see a
toolkits database as you created it but does it have any tables? If it has
tables does the sitedetails table have any entries?

I suspect you either have no tables or the insert into sitedetails didn't
work.

You say "I created a user account on the next screen". The only account the
installer created via the installer is the admin account for access to
management.php.

If you're using cpanel my recommendation would be as follows:

1. Using cpanel select the mySql databases icon.

2. Create a new mysql user (and password) specifically for toolkits and make
a note of the full username and password and the full database name. 
(you'll often find that both database name and username are automatically
prefixed by your account name e.g. full database name equals:
youraccountname_toolkits)

3. Select Add user to database and give that mysql account full access to
the toolkits database

4. run toolkits setup and use the database and mysql account details

You'll know if setup has completed if you get success messages on the last
page.

I actually managed to install it, but when I navigate to the site, all I see
is the numeral 1 in 
upper left.

What I did was to take the advice to create a database in the cpanel.  

On the "MySQL Database Creation page" of setup, I
left first line blank, used my normal login for siteground and entered the
new database name 
but left the prefix blank.

That seemed to work.  I created a user account on the next screen.  Then I
hit Submit Query 
at the bottom and got a lot of text with a lot of access denied for user
messages.  Still, at the 
bottom it says the Installation is complete and provides a link to my
toolkits site.

But, as I say, the page is empty except for one digit.
