[Xerte] Problems installing Xerte

[Cowles T.]

Pat,

The root folder is writeable (777) and I have looked at the contents of the database.php file and it contains the correct values for the MySQL username and password.

Hello,

It is probably because you didn't set your root folder as writable to.

So when the install program tries to write the database file into the root folder it fails.

So when the system goes looking for the database file it can't find it, and so it uses the default user.

I am installing Xerte on the following server:

Ubunutu 8.10
PHP 5.2.10
MySQL 5

After entering the username and password of the MySQL user I created for Xerte the installation then fails as it tries to enter information in to the database. 

An example of the error is:

The sitedetails site ID query insert into
DATABASE_PREFIXsitedetails(site_id) VALUES ( "1") has failed due to Access denied for user 'www-data'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

This looks to me as if it is trying to write to the MySQL database as the user www-data (which is the Apache user), and not as the user I specified in the previous step.
