[Patrick Lockley]

Usually page 4 errors are due to the root folder not being set with the right permissions

Hi again

page4.php

I think I will start afresh - maybe I did something wrong.

Hello,

 

Setup always starts with the setup folder. Nowhere else.

 

Database.php is created at the end of the process, used solely on the last page. Which page says it cannot access the database?

Dear All

I have downloaded the toolkits zipfile, transferred it to a directory on my linux server, unzipped it and set the permissions correctly.

When I connect to the URL provided in the Toolkits' documentation (http://myhost/myfolder) in order to proceed with the setup of the system, I get mysql error messages. If I connect directly to http://myhost/myfolder/setup I get the correct setup screens. 

Is this where I should be? or is there a problem with the setup files? 

When I continue further in the setup of the toolkits, the setup complains that it cannot connect to the database and I suspect that this is because it is looking in the setup directory for database.php which is created in the root directory of the toolkits and not the setup directory.

It is possible of course that I did not properly fill in the setup form - but I thought I would ask for some advice.

Thank you
Andrew
