[Xerte] Re: database.php

[David Goodwin]

Edit config.php (?) and set 

$development = true;

That should do it. 

Perhaps you don't have the mysql 'driver' installed for PHP? Create a file (E.g. called phpinfo.php) which contains "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" and access it through a web browser. Check you have 'mysql' stuff listed.

thanks

David
