I've just tried to install Xerte toolkit 1.9 onto a freshly setup Ubuntu
12.04 LTS server running the latest mysql / php stack and have run into
a problem with the installer php scripts.
The server has a FQDN of xerte.portsmouth-college.ac.uk and when I run
setup/mysql_test.php on the test where it checks connectivity I get this
error
Due to the following error - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check
the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '-college.ac.uk' at line 1 - 1064 we cannot ascertain
whether we can create this database
It would appear that it isn't escaping the FQDN correctly causing the
mysql statement to fail.
If I rename the server to use our secondary domain tpc.ac.uk the
installer goes through fine so I know there is nothing wrong with the
install.
I still have the first server so if required I can test altered php files.
Thanks
